Does anyone else see
The beauty you have inside
So gentle, calm, and free
Solely to kindness, you abide.
–
You need to see it too
No matter what at all
In everything you do
Or you’ll fail yourself and fall.
–
Gifted and great you must be
Never minimize all you do and touch
Look in the mirror and you’ll see
That to many you mean quite much.
–
You work a lot and help others
Keep it up you’re doing great
Many unrelated sisters and brothers
To this there is no debate.
–
So give yourself a break
Realize you’re better than good
With each new work you make
Living your life as you should…

Standby and steadfast.
Do not get caught up in the past.

Be vigilant be brave.
It’s a soul you gave.
–
Step slowly but consistent.
Change is hard, challenging resistant.
–
With each movement raise the bar.
Lesser versions of you afar.
–
Lessen your focus at progress slow.
Or easily frustrated at the pace of the flow.
–
Be present be here be now.
Enjoy your journey anyhow.
–
No one can ever take it away.
From today to your dying day.
–
Stand tall look how far you’ve come.
It’s all of the journey not the sum.
–
For one day, you’ll arrive at journey’s end.
And be actualized, whole, complete, my friend….

From the deepest depths of my soul there is a single small light.
This is the beginning, a long road to make it grow from an ember to a fierce blaze.
Tread lightly and cry as much as you can.
Your heart is rebooting, bare with the pain the burning and the radiating tingles.
I swear it’s going to be better than alright faster than you think.
You face your pain you invite it you bask as swim in it.
This processes and heals you and fast it’s just very hard and very intense.
You’re doing it, I don’t know but this is a rebirth. Hang on and keep going!

Strength rises from within
Providing ease in adversity
Malleable to change and experience
Strong enough to withstand the fires of life
Redefining importance and priority
Easing the pain of the past letting old wounds heal
Becoming a center stone in your life age in the lives of others
Sharing your failures to help others find the path
Swelling with pride inside overcoming obstacles
Realizing you can have what you want
Manifesting a life you always wanted in every way
Continuing the work to become a better you
Rediscovering who you are and were meant to be
Be your own success story
Transform your life until there’s no recognition
Unburden yourself except your limits and mistakes
No one or nothing will stop you except you…

Whatever will you do
When fairy tales don’t come true
–
Wherever will you look
Chucking every book
–
Abandoning each new plot
As something that we haven’t got
–
Searching for a relevant story
Not the drama insanity or glory
–
Rearrange the plot to make it work
Morph into a hero instead of a jerk
–
Be the man you were meant to be
In every way so the women can see
–
Just how great you really are
Then my friend you’ll be, a star
–
Top of their lists and gaining their call
Because you’re the one that is it all
–
Showing a light that beams from your soul
Will gain the trust that can bury the holes
–
Don’t give up as you are the best
As this is just another test…

Rise, ascend all pain.
Break the endless toxic chain.
Rebuild, start again.
–
Reach down deep inside.
Where your feelings cannot hide.
Aside, foolish pride.
–
Know your heart and beat.
Find that you’ll never retreat.
It lays at your feet.
–
Destiny is yours.
Like the winningest racehorse.
Take the desired course.
–
Be proud, look at you.
Only at your best it’s true.
Now it’s time to do
–
Take these flames to bed.
Smile as you rest your soft head.
Think of what’s been said…

It’s time to share a some thoughts
For those who’ve had hearts broken
It’s the ought to and ought nots
To whom that I have spoken
–
Take a deep look inside
And tell me what you see
If you’re not beaming with pride
You’re stuck and still not free
–
Look at all you’ve done
And all that you’ve survived
Not all of it was fun
But you’re here and still alive
–
Don’t worry about the future
Don’t dwell upon the past
Living in the present will suture
All the wounds you have amassed
–
Take lots of chances
In any opportunity to change
No more missed advances
Embrace your inner strange
–
Move forward on your journey
But know just where you are
If you’re twenty, fifty-two, or thirty
You are a shining star
–
So pat yourself right on the back
And have some pride, my friend
For your journeys been on a weary trek
But the worst of it is at an end…

I sing my own song.
I admit it when I’m wrong.
Know where I belong.
–
I play my own tune.
Not with a flute or bassoon.
But drums to the moon
–
I know who I am.
And Never seize up or clam.
Always be a man
–
Fear nothing that’s lived.
Life will flow freely as sieved.
If you just forgive.
Then you’d truly live.
–
Now’s the time my friend.
For this exercise will end.
Gentle peace portend…

Pick yourself up out of the mud
You are so amazing, not a dud.
–
Don’t let the women of your past define you
Learning and aging well like fine wines do.
–
Put it all together and you’ll see
Just how much you are free.
–
Living a life of which you’ve dreamed
Make the impossible, possible it seemed.
–
Making it all happen, and never vexed
Looking forward to the exciting life next.
–
Have an adventure, take that trip
Go to places that’ll make you flip.
–
So fasten your belt and tighten your shoes
The days are long over for singing the blues.
–
Your lessons learned and now you’re living
Receiving blessings instead of just giving…

All we could want, is to
Be the best version of ourselves and have a
Clear set of ideals up front, carefully
Defined and laid out to assure
Excellence and achievement through
Fantastic focus and dedication to all
Goals and aspirations to be our best, and
Handle all situations with care and pride, as
Impossible as it may seem, just
Jump towards a challenge, like a
Kangaroo, ever forward, improving our
Lives, one step and life at a time, with
Much happiness always in our control and
Never allowing ourselves to backslide
Or else, we’ll blow it all and be
Pontificating over all the losses and failures
Quite a sad way to end the journey, instead,
Remember all that’s been learned
So as not to convert those past lessons
To disasters which is a waste of time and will
Unravel all the progress desired, and the
Victories needed to win the game of life’s
Wild side that trip up anyone and make less
X-rays of the past as we’ve learned it all,
Yet there’s always more to master and then,
Zap, you’ve achieved all that you set out to..
-AAA 07/06/2024
Wake up!
Get out of bed!
What are you grateful for?
What makes you happy in your life?
A lot!!!

Between sleeps today I had a vision.
Opened eyes to silent but familiar dark room, alone but not alone.
Holding a candle which is the only light.
I blow it out with parsed lips.
Silent darkness, the waxy smokiness wafting in the air for a moment then gone.
This journey’s phase is at an end and the next, underway…
