Wakefulness

Catch my breath

And keep it going

The day is gone

And I am still alive

Only the promise of a new tomorrow

Free from pain and sorrow

Catch my laugh

And keep it going

The dream is gone

Only the promise of a new wish

Free from failure borrowed

Catch my restlessness

And keep it going

The lethargy is gone

And I am still alive

Only the promise of a new idea

Free from yesterday’s bother

Always in Community

Forged

New connections over a cup of tea

Destroyed

Old friendships separated by time

Nurtured

Special relations jubilantly

Protected

Family connections bonded naturally

Discarded

Tired associations empty

Remembered

Kindred souls lost sadly

Saved

Potential connections futuristically

In Conversation

Smile at me

Inner child

I can mimic yours

We can then go out and play together

Knowing tomorrow’s hopes could last forever

Laugh at me

Rebellious youth

You can mimic mine

We can then roll on the floor together

Knowing yesterday is gone forever

Cry with me

Lost youth

I can wipe your tears

We can then find happiness together

Knowing time seals disappointment’s wounds forever

Conscious

Woken

By my own slumber’s rumble

Aware

Of my unique pitched squeak

Understood

The value of my laughter’s freedom

Listening

To the labour of life’s elixir

Focused

On the symphony of a biological cacophony

By Simone Beatrice Naik Noemdoe, 2012-09-10.

Recalling

My skin
Knows the heat
Of an autumn wind

My tongue
Can taste the subtle decay
Signalled by the changing season

My eyes
Catch the moment in transformation
Yellow, red, green, grey

My soul
Counts down the hours
Between night and day

My hair
Decides upon the level of moisture
This body is willing to tolerate

My mind
No longer confused
Every season forges a reason

By Simone Betrice Naik Noemdoe, 2012-09-10.

Motivation

Failure

Not a winner’s option

Passing

A working solution

Hesitation

Only a brief prelude to be tolerated

Decisiveness

Perceived as a strong character witness

Completion

Even the apathetic can atone
