Sleep is the best meditation.

The best of men was he

The best of men was he,
but he wasn’t free
from indignity.

He could control
the wind, the sea
and the fish that dwelt in it.

He could give life
back to the dead
and wake men from eternal sleep.

Still they nailed him to a tree
as if not comprehending,
who they really dealt with.

The Best Teacher

the best teacher is the midwife

she helps you
give birth to ideas

she eases the pain
she wipes the blood
she takes the baby
from you
yet you know that
everything is safe and sound

you hear you baby cry
as she raises him
invertedly up
against the sky

then she leaves
in tiptoeing silence
as you sleep soundly again
closing your eyes for more
sweet dreams

Who Does Not Really Want To Write The Best Poem In The World?

yes, a five-star poem.
the one fit for first prize
awards, the one that will
make you famous
worldwide,
who does not like to
go on tv? read that famous
poem personally.

me? sorry i don't.
i am tired writing the best poem
of my life
been writing for years
i can imagine
trying to fit in
with the most famous ones
dead and alive
but i know i can never write it
because i can't
because i don't
because i do not have any reason
to write it.

i love to write.
AND that is foremost.
that is final. nothing ambitious.
nothing to change your world
or this world or that world
nothing to influence another
indonesian or turk
or swedish or
anybody or anything

what advantage do i get
when i say i just love to write
when i say i do not want to write the best poem in the world?

nothing, except the joy of having
to make the deep breath
in my life.

air that fills my lungs
and make me dream and make me sleep
longer than you do.

Sleep Away The Day

We sleep to forget,
to stop the madness,
to make life just a little more bearable,
to make us feel in control,
to make all the bad people go away,

We sleep for the fun of it,
to make our life in a world of our creation,
to remember those who have left us,
to make us feel our imagination come to life,
to feel the magic of life around us,

We sleep to be things were not,
to make us a doctor
to make us an army man
to make us a police officer
to make us the President/Prime Minister

We sleep to feel alive,
to those who say dreams are not real,
i say to you,
do you not feel in your dreams,
do you not get caught in the moment of a dream,
do you not wish you could control reality,
do you not wish for the best in life,

That is why we dream,
to fulfill our wishes,
it is the one place we are gods,
so i say next time you want to give up and die
i say...

Sleep Away The Day!

The Best Beginning

the time for losing
is not a waste of time

the time for rethinking
is a chance for finding

what you have once written
you read again

there will be changes
something shall be erased

sometimes you pretend
that there is Nothing

Only to find what Everything
means what Someone really is

Churches fall into shatters
Governments are not that kind

Schools perhaps have mis-educated
a lot of us

We do not exist for the work alone
Or the money

We exist for the breathing and
the walking and the daily thinking

We perhaps must have miscalculated us
Our Potentials overlooked

Our Talents and Time all wasted
We perhaps have not known what Us mean

There is a time to erase and undo
This is the time to Unload and Delete

Tomorrow morning after a Nigh's
Good Sleep
We go back to the Basics

It is the Waking first and then
The Breathing

Then everything shall be new
Without any name at all.

That i think must be the Best
Beginning.

Having the Best

Having the best may mean,
Having less than someone else.
Or having more to digest!
Leaving many despondent,
And overwhelmed by despair.
Since comparisons between others,
Keeps that suggested everywhere!

'I am going to have the best! '
Many publicly announce...
As if they have entered a contest.
Or their point of view is being tested.

One's quality of life is at its best,
When one experiences good health.
And has happiness.
With a freedom felt no one expects,
Is not on credit.
Or anticipating a loan one waits to get...
To stretch and compensate,
Before depression arrives at Sunset.

Having the best may mean,
Being away from others...
Who have nothing to express but regret.
For not having 'things' in their lives that sparkle,
To impress and widen another's eyes.
Especially someone new,
One has just met.
And not getting a bit of sleep at night...
Thinking of different ways to disguise,
Excuses and alibis from deceit and familiar lies!

The Best Was Yet To Come

Just a small town girl in the city lights
The best was yet to come
Then lonely days turned to endless nights
The best was yet to come

How were you to know
That you would be the lucky one
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best was yet to come

You can cry yourself to sleep at night
You can't change the things you've done
You had it there then it slipped away
Yeah you left the song unsung

Even through your tears
I never saw you come undone
What's so good about goodbye
When the best was yet to come

I find myself thinkin' about yesterday
When you were here and livin' in a dream
In the moment that it takes
You find you made your first mistake
Like the setting sun...
You turn around it's gone

Just a small time girl who had it made
Or so the story goes
She had it there then it slipped away
Oh - how was she to know

Even through her tears
I never saw her come undone
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best was yet to come
What's so good about goodbye
When the best was yet to come

You're The Best Mom!

Moms are best!
They carry us to their tummy for 9 months
Even if their one feet is into death,
They choose us to be born
Thanks mom for loving me.

Moms are best!
They re like wonder woman
They woke up early, prepared us healthy foods
They cleaned the house, and gave all we need.
Thanks mom for taking care of us.

Moms are best!
They re like a nurse, but they are the best
When were sick, they’re the first one who get hurt.
They never sleep, just to make sure that were fine!
Thanks for the moms hug it’s like medicine, can cure all the pain.

Moms are best!
They are the best teacher.
When were young and not yet studying.
They are the first one who teach us good manners and respect elders
Thanks mom for guiding and teaching me, while I’m growing up.

Moms are best!
They’re not only mom but “best friend”
They are always there and hear my thoughts
They keep your girl secret and give good advice.
Thanks moms for the happy girls bonding, for always understanding me.

Moms are best
But my mom is the best mom in the world!
Thanks you mom for your love and everything
I thank GOD because I have a mom like you.
So I wrote this poem just for you.

The Best Peace to Achieve

The best peace to achieve,
Is the kind others believe...
An attention is sought.
And none comes!

the best about God

the best thing - about God - is
he talks more like a human being
- than many - who profess they
know him better

For all around me are fruits of love and,

The Best Way to Live

Old folks say the best way to live
Is when love, you learn to give
And for those who have somehow hurt you
For your own sake, forgive.

The Best State

'How can I know the best state?'
In the way that thou know'st the best woman;
Namely, my friend, that the world ever is silent of both.

Ansd she belongs to you;

The Best Time

The best time
To cry is in the
Silence of the night
When the tears in your
Eyes glisten like the
Rains on the window
And you know…
No one will know

The chief is not the best

It is not that the best in the skills
Becomes a captain of a team.
It requires some other skills for that.
The chief is not the best of all.
