96. “Bending beats breaking.” 

― Betty Greene

In twists of fate, a path unwinds,

Bending beats breaking, a truth divine.

With every step, a choice we find,

To yield or resist, a line divine.

 

In bending, strength we do show,

For flexibility is a virtue, you know.

In breaking, we find a test,

Of will and spirit, a challenge to pass.

 

Through trials and tribulations we go,

With every bend, a lesson we know.

And in the end, we find our way,

To a brighter day, a better way.

 

So let us embrace the bends,

And learn from every twist and turn.

For in the end, we'll find our strength,

And rise above, our spirits unlearn.

“All is flux, nothing stays still.” ― Plato --- AKSHR

 

90. “All is flux, nothing stays still.” ― Plato

 

In life's grand tapestry, a shifting hue,

All is flux, nothing stays still, it's true.

From dawn's first light to dusk's farewell,

Every moment's a tale to tell.

 

The sands of time, they constantly shift,

Leaving behind only the wispy drift.

The trees, they sway and dance with grace,

Their leaves, a fleeting, ephemeral trace.

 

The seasons come, and go, they play,

A never-ending cycle, night and day.

The wind whispers secrets, of a bygone age,

As the pages of life, turn with the stage.

 

The waves, they crash, and the tides, they flow,

A constant ebb and flow, we know.

The stars, they twinkle, like diamonds in the sky,

A celestial ballet, for the eye to try.

 

The world is in a state of flux, it's true,

But in this change, there's beauty, too.

So let us embrace, this ever-changing tide,

And find joy, in life's rhythmic ride.

72. "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, ... .” – Socrates ---- AKSHR

72. "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, 

not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” 

– Socrates

 

In the depths of our souls, a secret does lie

A power so great, it can change our fate's tide

The secret of change, a force so divine

Is to focus all energy, on building the new line

 

Not on fighting the old, with anger and strife

But on creating the future, with hope and life

For change is a journey, that we must embrace

With open hearts and minds, and a willing grace

 

So let us not dwell, on what has been

But look to the horizon, with a vision so clean

For in the new, we'll find our true strength

And the secret of change, will be our length

Let us choose the path of love and light --- AKSHR

 

Let us choose the path of love and light

In life's garden, bitterness is a weed

That can choke the sweetness, and make us proceed

With caution and care, lest we succumb

To its poisonous taste, and forever be numb

 

Its tendrils twist and its thorns prick

Our hearts and our minds, making us sick

With a taste that's bitter and cold as stone

Leaving us hollow and all alone

 

But there's a cure for this bitter taste

A balm that can heal and erase

The pain and the hurt that we've known

And bring us back to a brighter dawn

 

So let us not be tempted by strife

Nor succumb to the bitter life

Let us choose the path of love and light

And find peace in the morning's first sight
