No matter how far you’ve gone,
Regardless of how many steps you’ve taken.
One more is monumental.
It is smaller than any of the others but it triggers,
Self doubt, worry, paranoia, panic.
Not the fear of failure but the fear of failing to succeed.
Fortunately success is the only answer, option, and possibility.
Escaping the cell,
Ascend into the pursuit,
Feeling lit, be free-
kiss free-
love free-
ask free-
look free-
drink free-
dance free-
smile free-
-End Free-
These lanes only go left.
This light only allows you to turn when it’s green.
The birds do as they please, chirping their laughter at you
As they are free; free to go east or west, free to go north and south, no restrictions can ever be placed.
The birds can not allow it.
Why, why exactly should you?
Always there just off in the distance,
Lurking.
Continuing its approach undaunted by outside forces,
Preparing.
Calculating how much effort is needed for success and then doubling it,
Attacking.
Undismayed by its result, entitled to its position,
Savoring,
The victory rightfully theirs.
It’s breaking up but it’s not the end.
It is the beginning, but the start of what is unknown.
On the precipice any number of things are possible if you,
just take a moment.
Sit down, be there, reflect upon your plan.
Just write, it will come to you just like
spring it will awaken you.
*I apologize for my lack of posts, I had a few class related projects come up but I am back on track. Thank you for your continued support.
Is it better to be on the inside or out?
The fog suggests greater warmth within, the sunlights hints of substantial beauty on the periphery.
To have both is impossible, each ruins the promise made by the other.
It is not merely a matter of which path, if only it could be that simple.
You might be surprised to find both can work. Neither is permanent.
Much like your perspective.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spend it all on me,
Exhaust all of your efforts,
Thoughtless Affliction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ebb- Flow
Just wait a moment, there will be a new tide
on the same banks.
The shape might change
but
the actions will never falter.
Capture the moment,
an eternity encapsulated in a
reflection.
