Take solace there is hope of better times.
From the cycles of change of the past.
The soul has survived lifetimes.
The mind questions unasked.

Party Days

Cheeseburgers in Paradise and blew out a flip flop in the air.
Now at work, almost grown up, on the way to independence day.

Now I See
I once saw through eyes tinted by past lives… my own and others.
Mistakes made from then till now… guiding hands toward a dark end.
No longer blind… free of mind… eyes now see the world in its true form.

Full Speed
Waiting to reach a number… thinking wisdom comes with age.
Surprised… discovering more mistakes and foolishness ahead.
What brings maturity and wisdom… surviving and embracing it all.

If Only
To know then what I know now… what a difference it could have made.
The mistakes, the miss takes, the timid moments and the terrible.
What would today be if those long ago days had been golden.?

What Now?
The ideal, the divine, the wish, the want … for some out of reach.
Once reached, life is forever changed … in danger of collapse.
Where once was elation and clarity … the future now void and vague.

Nonetheless
Defined by the moment… raised high beyond life’s normal plane.
The delicate arc of form… revealing celestial gifts.
Thankful misery in this… given to an unworthy beast.

Uncharted
Yielding to complacency … the end no longer defined.
Having spied the horizon … as though pulled from the mind’s eye.
Make the best of the moment … traveling a future’s path now unlined.

when breaking down walls
passion’s a key to success
when breaking glass ceilings
never aim up for the roof
but down to diseased bedrock
***Fight Through It Not To It!***
