Perspective...

By Olawalium | Olawalium | 12 Dec 2022


I see things differently which often influence the way I pencil down my thoughts. I like thinking outside the box and it doesn't mean I've got all things figured out but I just like thinking strategically. Life isn't easy but what choice do we have than to make the most of it? Giving up and missing out is not an option for me. I will keep pushing for as long as I can...

It's another week for poetry and I hope you enjoy these ones...


Beauty of Nature and Life.

I see the beauty in life and even in people
I try to wrap my head around things that happen
I try to open my eyes to the endless possibilities
Not only in life but also with the ways humans act
I see the beauty that nature has to offer us all
Even in the midst of trials, I see the good parts
I only choose my gaze and I try to stay objective
I see the best in humans and in what I go through too
What you see is what you attract, we should know that
When we choose to wrap our heads around happenings
Deliberately seeking the good amidst the rubbles
We will soon find that which our heart has been seeking
When people hurt you, do you see the good in them?
When life threatens you, do you believe the best of it?
When the rose withers, do you believe it can sprout again?
When life throws you a lemon, can you make that lemonade?


Beauty of Nature and Life, II.

There are beauties all around me and my eyes are not blind
I fastened the seatbelt of my heart and that of my mind
Braced up to see all the beauty that exists in the world, leaving nothing behind
In the midst of my daily toils and my grind
Have you ever observed the beauty of the wind?
Everything about nature have us in mind to remind
Nature has done it's bit but it's humans that are unkind
I want you to take a moment to observe the wind or the moon tonight
Watch as the trees dance to the rhythm of the wind
Bowing and paying homage, up, down, to the left and right
Have you seen the beauty of the sun? How beautiful and majestic it was designed?
I enjoy the warmth and the brightness of its light
There is nothing on the surface of the earth, from it, can forever hide
Illuminating the world at once from the brightness of every side
Humans and nature would forever be intertwined
Nature and humans both have the tendencies to be wild
But there is no denying the beauty that both possess especially at their best
I see better with my eyes fixated on the abundance of nature all around me
I soak in as much as I can and leave the complaints
I won't be here forever so I need to focus on the beauty that surrounds me
With nature and humans alike...


Strength To Move On.

Life may try to throw you underneath the bus
You might have left things behind in a rush
Others might have spoken ill of you for long
Making you retreat and think life is a wash
Many people might have tried to bring you down
Turning your obvious smile into a more serious frown
Many people might have frustrated your efforts
Making you doubt the good in most humans
I am sticking around and not giving up on you
I want you to see me as a reminder to yourself
That when others leave amidst different opinions
I am here to tell you the truth and stay close by
Others may have touching words and loss of love
I am here to hold your hand while I give you strength;
Strength to move on and believe in the new
Strength to hope for a better tomorrow than yesterday
Strength to see the best of other humans even
Maybe we meet some few bad people in life
So when we see the good ones, we can appreciate them
When others try to break you, my dear friend
You can be so sure I am here to hold you


Thank you for your time.
