Incredible the amount of times
I don’t get an answer to my questions.
A response. Yes. But not an answer.
So I patiently and politely ask again…
While thinking, “Hey moron. Let’s try this again.”
Month: March 2020
Family. Love.
I’m passing along
What was passed to me.
But, I get a say.
That’s the gift. You see?
This clicked as I shared
What I know, with my child.
It suddenly struck me.
So simple yet wild!
From my brain to hers.
I was proud that she got it.
And, I realized right then.
She learned, and I taught it.
And, from my Mom and Dad,
I learned the same way.
So, they’re teaching through me.
And, through her one day.
May she then realize
Her strength and her voice;
That we’re coming through her,
But that she has the choice.
Simple Truth
We all see things that others don’t.
We see things different Ways.
Aligned with what’s important though,
We’ll all know better Days.
Head Space
Here’s what it is.
I’m gunna make somethin great happen.
Textbook.
Fluid.
Stayin down and through it.
The best I can today.
Right now.
I don’t always have my best stuff
But I’m damn sure gunna do the best with what I got.
And, I’m gunna shake off the shit that I got; that I can. Right now.
You see.
The space I’ve got here, is mine.
My mind. My body. Mine.
We know how to get it done.
It’s been a matter of giving myself permission.
A matter of allowing myself to do what I can.
10-4!
I’m not going to repeat myself.
If you don’t agree or don’t get it,
That’s Fine.
But, I’m not gunna argue.
That’s a waste of my time.
What the Moon Didn’t say
I looked up at the moon and it said
Nothing at all
Because the moon doesn’t talk of course.
And, it wasn’t staring back at me either,
Because the moon doesn’t have eyes.
The Feeling is
The Feeling Is amazing,
But you’re saying it’s not.
I hear you complaining.
Like, our house is too hot!
But, things are perfect;
Just as they should be.
If you’re not happy
You should change how you see.
The world won’t change
But You can change You;
The way you think
And what you do.
So get a grip
And get with what’s real.
The place to start
Is with the way that you feel.
Then, notice your thinking;
How you react to your feeling.
This is awareness
You may find your ceiling.
Limitations are learned
And they’re also self taught.
Seeking comfort is key
And where most folks are caught.
See, you’ve always a choice
To change your mind.
Try, This is just right, more,
And see what you find.
Act Now
Where will thinking take you?
Where do you want to go?
Do you have a vision?
Just start with what you know.
Then you look for answers.
You learn along the way.
Committed with a purpose.
Growing every day.
Make action your priority.
Practice what you read.
Books can bring you knowledge
But they’re just like a seed.
Liked “…
Better than no response I suppose,
But it’s lazy, right?
And, that’s how it goes.
Buuuut, my text posed a question,
So “Liked” doesn’t sit well.
It tells me, you’re busy,
Or, don’t care. I can’t tell.
Funny. Technology.
An extension of us.
In this case it squashes
The chance to discuss…
Something intriguing;
Communication worth while.
But what choice do i have?
So I move on and smile.
Buuuut I’d like to call you out.
All you I Phone users.
“Liked” is just lazy,
If not rude. You’re abusers!
Vulnerability
Lighten up and laugh at yourself.
Therein lies a key.
There’s a ceiling to your growth
If you take yourself too seriously.
Dare to take your guard down;
A better way to be.
You’ll find the same in others;
Vulnerability.
That’s the way to peace.
The same place you’ll find joy.
It’s what I lost, long ago,
When I was just a boy.
