About me

A mother, wife and civil servant, a conscientious citizen and patriot ----- my abiding love for books has made me try my hand at writing poetry, none of which is anything but the strictly spontaneous outpouring of a mind that prizes truth and harmony, above all else.

in the moment


#APoetAtHeart

its no easy job
making up your mind
whether the purpose of life
is minimising suffering
or maximising happiness
or even whether one is different from the other
perhaps the absence of suffering is happiness
and the absence of happiness is suffering
then there are moments when suffering brings joy
and others when the price of happiness is suffering
so between the two
i stand confused
wondering whether
i should accept
each moment
for what it brings
and let the mind
be simply guided
by its contents
