To Squash A Star
An Apoetsbrain original ©
Tonight I looked up at a star as it sparkled so brightly.
I lifted up my hands in the freezing night and placed the twinkle Little Star between my thumb and index finger all set to squash it. Continue reading To Squash A Star
To Be Alive
“When you arise in the morning think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.”
~Marcus Aurelius
The One Thing You Have…
The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.
~ Neil Gaiman
That Upward Spiral
“See: it’s a never-ending upward spiral. And if you think at any point you’re allowed to stop climbing, I’m afraid you’re missing the point. Because the joy is in the climb itself.”
~Mark Manson
Birthing Emeralds
An original Piece by Apoetsbrain ©
One great man was mocked because of his lifelong efforts to bring about peace in his community.
This man worked, strived, suffered and later died for peace.
He will be seen as a peace maker, the reconciler, the forgiver of many many wrongs.
He welcomed generosity, and begged that each man care for his neighbor. Continue reading Birthing Emeralds
Time
“Time means a lot to me because, you see, I, too, am also a learner and I am often lost in the joy of forever developing and simplifying. If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”
~ Bruce Lee
Dreamer
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”
Sometimes
“Sometimes, all it takes is a little more strength, a little more courage, a little more interest, a little more determination. Not a lot more, just a tiny bit more than you had before to make it through, and suffer no regrets.”
~ Quotes by Apoetsbrain
What it Takes
“It takes one that has known fear to stand fearless. It takes one that has felt and understood shame to stand confident.”

Silly Ant
“The one whose life is centered only around gathering riches and indulging all worldly pleasures is like an ant inside someone’s house who worked all through the day to gather sugar, and ant meat, and when evening came, the home owner swept everything off both ant and ant meat alike. A destruction with no discrimination.”

Grand Hands
“There comes a time when you realize that your life is no longer in any man’s hands. Not in your parents, or your siblings, or friends, not in yours, but in the hand of God who does as He wills. And then you stop fighting and kicking against the pricks. To gain that smoother Iife of peace, in surrender. Then all you can say is:
“Not my will Lord, but yours be done.”
~Sandra C. Bamisile 😊
Be Thankful
A Poem written by Ayivi Williams © All rights reserved
Be thankful for what you have.
You have got all the things that you want.
Others do not have half of what you have.
Yet, you still want to go in for what they’ve got.
Be careful never to covet what your friends have.
