Future possibilities
We’re managing the politics disagreements and silly antics
Yet totally missing the experience of living
Just surviving some struggling more
Having little access or no door
So few ways to rise from the bottom of the barrel
Of an economic system so impersonal
Instead of loving the soul
Society is run by money and gold
If we’re given a new day
Then there is a possibility of a new way
To make choices that will later create our future,
What we will experience is yet to be written
We the pen must leave our imprint in our decisions
Let Go of Fear
The fruit of awareness has broken through
A seed now budded the mind discovered
That the same patterns used to survive
Can stop us from ascending, being paralyzed
A familiar yet comfortable rut, like soft quick sand one gets stuck
Tired of running the same tracks
Weary of the battles that follow
As one may live in the past
Instead of preparing for tomorrow
A breaking away of self-inflicted decay
A slow pain that numbs what remains
It’s time to awake and take control
To let fear go and be bold
Weathering the storm
When negative feelings become the focus
Honor the moment and embrace the emotion
Swim through it and under to find answers
Then when it is over, cut it away like a cancer
Say no to reliving pass due decay
That is considered bravery,
Not running from the pain
Rather creating boundaries with the suffering
Choosing at some point to say goodbye to a rainstorm that has now passed by
