Ruby Tonacao Campos Poems

Life's Journey

Life's journey isn't easy or funny,
Rather, it's long and really dreary,
...

Master Teacher, Source and Giver of wisdom,
You have called me to a work so special,
A stint that others often label as celestial,
With some calling it one "noble and superior".
...

Life is a gift,
It's not mine to waste.
Life is precious,
it's not mine to abuse.
...

You are my guiding star
that lights my way in a dark night.
You are my perfect rudder
when my hopes seem out of sight.
...

Beauty lures,
beauty pulls.
Beauty attracts,
beauty distracts.
...

They give me space,
Clear my troubled mind,
Heal my soul,
Touch my heart,
...

Dark paths have been brightened
Rough times they never stop me
Boredom, Oh it cheers me up
Weary days are a welcome to me
...

She stands a moment
Merely gazing at a blank wall
With grave contempt He stares
Not minding her presence
...

Oh moon what a delight to see,
You drive away my madness
with your stunning beauty.
You soothe one's tired spirit
...

Slowly, silently, carefully, she crawls beneath,
She reaches out her trembling right hand,
Tightly, her left hand held to her belly,
Then she inches forward for the only crumb,
...
