Philo Yan Poems

Humans have the need to know
The need to know is a human trait
when it turns inward to be of no mind
it slips, spinning like a spider's thread...
...

Our monkey mind will
yada, yada, jibber jabber
a constant state of chatter
It winds us up like a toy until
...

He speaks in a whisper
He rambles and pauses, long
I never seem to catch
the words he strings along
...

Friends come and friends go
Real friends are far and few
Others take years to know
Some are not what we knew
...

Cloud forms, cottony white
Grey weaves between the light
Peachy pinks, Sun arises
Bring new hope, deep desires....
...

No right no wrong to what we fear

To manage, conquer what you fear
...

Yellow flowers bursts with happiness,
The bonds of friendship do abide,
The taste of success with selfless pride.
Joyous is the yellow flower
...

Work is work, it might get you down
Do laugh, do smile or giggle like a clown
Pull off or kick away your shoes
Life changes with whatever you choose.
...

Moment to moment
boulders boldly stands
shape shifting in constant tides
basking in the rise and fall
...

Once there was a dog named Pat
Who thinks he is a tabby cat
Instead of a bark, he'll purr
Rubs his head and licks his fur!
...
