Be Kind To You

Be kind to yourself.

We all make supposed "mistakes" which are not really.

…it is called growing as people.

forgive and move on.

 

Be kind to yourself.

Understanding Begins With Ourselves

So many feel the need to fight

Living life with no inner light

Why do so many appal

Simple fact that Love is all                         

My desire all lost souls see

Potential for all they can be

Finding our own truths until

Our future to be shaping, moulding

Howling Edge

"Give children fire, so they can grow stronger than anyone you've ever known"


Take me to the edge
Give me wings to touch the sky
Let me hustle my sorrow into the wind
May my pain echo in a kind
Might it set their world on fire
Tears pumping through their veins
Let them know what I've felt
What ache I've been in
And they'll heal as soon as their own wind whisper hits 'em
As a hurrican...

The Spark Of Understanding

Why is it thought such a fight

Living life within the light?

Purely expressed feelings actual

There never was anyone else to blame

Personal responsibility to now reclaim

All The Things (Happy World Poetry Day!)

It being absolutely essential

To live our life to our potential

Drifting along, getting on by

Lazy ways to truth deny

Living this way being soul treason

Finding excuses, rhyme or reason

Looking away from where we should be

Closing our minds to our liberty

My reality took a while to sink in

Inner voice screaming, making a din

Taking Off The Jacket

A comfort zone is like an old jacket

Worn it for too many years

It doesn’t quite fit anymore and definitely looks tired

Shabby and worn out

Carrying on being worn because it’s comfortable

Now is always the best time to leave comfort traps

 

Stretching horizons

Stretching ourselves

Waking as the sun rises on a new place today

The thrill of travel

Where To Look?

Pondering the question…

How to be inspired?

Meditating, dreaming

Mind works overtime looking for the answer

Information meltdown time

 

Taking a quiet moment…looking around seeing anew

Inspiration?

It’s in every tree...city life goes on….and yet here we have nature

Nature still manifesting as the ultimate expression of art in motion

What could be more inspiring?

Connections

Our bodies borrowed from the universe

Made of stardust

Everywhere and nowhere at once

Souls having a human experience

Moving ego aside to freedom

Inspiration guiding our actions

Through universal connections

How often the truth hides

Right there in plain site

Seek and we find

I am the seasons

Life to renew

I am divine

And so are you

To Dream Of Greatness

I like seaside piers; in a parallel world I’m a Victorian engineer
In this world I am mostly polite and mostly sincere

In this world I just sketch buildings, taking in it all

In this world no leaves or snow on the track will do

Knocking On My Door

I am pro any religion that advocates harming no others or taking a life

Protecting the innocent, nurturing the lost and protecting wildlife

They come to my front door, knock, knock, knock for my attention

A personal invitation right from my doorstep to join their congregation

And generally the same question they are consistently asked by me

Beyond Trying

Try, try and try again can be oh so trying

Endlessly trying, yet never really achieving

“At least I gave it a go, I tried” is wishy washy

Trying is hardly committing, whatever may be

Trying offers an opt-out clause at some point

“Giving it a try” guaranteed to disappoint

 

Any road to achievement in life is rarely linear

Which way forward oftentimes a little unclear

Internal Liberty

Think deeply about your ideal utopia

Designed from life’s eternal cornucopia

Perfection as you always secretly dreamt

Going to bed at night in deepest content

 

Finally be honest with yourself here and now

Clearly seeing the path you need to take

See it and feel it.

Strongly imagine you can taste it.

The flavours stimulating your taste buds.

“Labels can make or break us”

The topic for today “discuss”

 

“Good boy you’ve eaten all your dinner!”

Early learning, clear my plate and I’m a winner

“You’ve got to look smart to visit Nana and Grandad”

Ahh, so wearing my pyjamas all day then is bad?

Art on 5th Avenue - The Guggenheim

Walked through Central Park along 5th Avenue

Destination we’d read so much about coming into view

Standing back gaping at the alien architecture before us

Incredible building, sallying forth anticipation all abuzz

Worth the entrance fee to simply look upward inside

Enough procrastination, let’s go see art, we decide

 

Never given much thought to Van Gogh not strictly my scene

The one he wore come rain or shine

Only hers

The Healing of Ancient Wounds

She wondered into his place of work

because she thought she was loosing her head

When approached by him she lost herself,

her wits and her heart instead

She found her will to try,

emotions she had lost,

physical urges she thought she had shed

The sight and sound of him,

the insight he shared,

her soul he fed

Cautiously she indulged,

Last Train

Just as we think we have reached the end

Seemingly no way forward

All options apparently exhausted

I am reminded of train number 48624

Abandoned to the scrapheap

Or so it seemed

Stood facing into the icy wind

As with frozen fingers I take a photograph

Preserved for posterity now

Spend your life dreaming about trivia and that's what you end up with
Make your dreams big ones...big, bold and in glorious technicolour
Paint them across your imagination and go wild.
And if the dream is possible, however remotely, there is a good chance the way will be made available to achieve your dream.
It will happen...the choice is then yours...how much do you want it? and how brave do ...

Wisdom is to truly master life
