Glenn Varona

Glenn Varona writes, 'I could be described as an Australian bush poet, albeit a struggling one. Even so, I love to write about things that matter, such as Being, Essence, Truth, and Nature. It is my view that, when all is said and done, we all need to look at these things that matter, or we would be lost. Thus, I could also be described as a bush philosopher.

I have been writing poetry since I was eight but have never attempted to publish any of my work until now. For this, I am grateful to the Origami Poems Project for accepting my very first attempt to step into the light. It is a small start, but all great journeys begin with a small step.'

A Moment of Rest

To seek only truth
The most difficult of tasks
Yet comes fulfillment

I dream of one thing
For a moment, peaceful rest
A cup of water

Freedom of being
Tyrants fear it most of all
As they do free minds

There are few who know
That one can be all alone
In a crowded room

A meditation
Life and death, joy and sorrow
All is but a breath
Gone in a tiny moment
Felt for all eternity

●

Peace Amid Turmoil

The mind is serene
A world in darkness, turmoil
The world exists not

The body at war
Yet the spirit is at rest
All can be conquered

Water in clear glass
The soul of a true warrior
Strength, but in repose

Dignity; courage
Virtues of the truly brave
Few understand this

Ancient and noble
The pathways of wisdom come
Onward they go on
Only few daring to tread
Ancient and noble pathways
