Sit, Crawl Stand, Walk

AnthonyLeave a comment

Sit , crawl , stand, walk

Slowly growing 

Babble speak talk 

Life is flowing.

–

Giggle, smile coo

Playing with toys 

So much to do

All filled with joys.

–

Growing up slow

An inch by inch

Best way to grow

Surely a cinch.

–

Toddlers or infants

Childhood then teens

Due take your chance

No in-betweens.

–

Lastly adults 

Hardly can wait

Little consults

End all debates…

Entropy Works

AnthonyLeave a comment

Through chaos comes organization.

Everything settles back down to normal.

Sit still, quietly for a moment, you’ll see it.

Everything happens for a reason, you just need to be far away enough to see it.

Don’t worry if you can’t see the road ahead it goes in the right direction.

Be the change, light the way for everyone in the future.

Be the spark that ignites them all, aflame.

Show everyone that change is the key to everything and staying stagnant is death.

As you grow, your world will grow, and your life will grow.

Be, that, change…

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….

Words, They Protect Us All

Words are our defense.

To cruelties of a cold world.

Countering the bad.

–

Providing a shield.

To the harsh realities.

We all must deal with.

–

New words every day.

Arise through inspirations.

Through experience.

–

Many lessons learned.

Through the mistakes of our pasts.

Reap many rewards.

–

They’re a catalyst.

For the words that preserve us.

A creative shield.

–

That blocks future pain.

Blotting out all the darkness.

And giving us, light.

Clutching you when you least expect

Coldness like a Zombie’s hand

Little to do or even protect

Fear waves its toxic wand.

–

Heart is racing beating faster

You take deep breaths to try and cope

Your body turns to rigid, skin alabaster

As you grasp at slipping notions of hope.

–

It’s taken you now you’re frozen in place

Triggered and frayed like a live wire

A icy gaunt look on your face

You suffer deep in anxiety’s ire.

–

Its Crippling debilitating

And takes a big toll on

Endlessly contemplating

Until happiness is gone.

–

Many a victim doth it take

Chaining them to over thought

Trying to avoid a break

From a disaster that may be wrought.

–

Stand in strength and hold on fast

Strength inside far more than you know

This internal nagging will not last

Take this opportunity to grow.

–

Take control you got this now.

Your mind drifts back to normalcy

Taking command of your fears, wow

It’s the strongest you can be…

Hey There, Watson

Hey there, Watson what did you do?

Where has life landed you, friend?

Tell me tales of what you’ve lived through.

And how on earth they all will end?

–

I traveled deep into the darkness.

And I found light on the way out.

Most of my lessons far from harmless.

But that’s what my journey was all about.

–

Countless persons, experiences and such.

Formed the lessons I referenced before.

Love and strength were my only crutch.

Venturing past each slamming door.

–

What can I tell you my dearest friend?

Of what this world has given me.

Realities harshness doesn’t end.

Or a sweet reward of liberty.

–

Loving hard is not enough.

For person’s not worthy of a love.

No peace or beauty can be rough.

When all they do is push and shove.

–

Changes happened at this point.

An adoration for me I did find.

My gifts and talents I anoint.

As strength and power fill my mind.

–

The answers all kept coming.

To the questions remaining in my life.

With all my passions continuously summing.

I found the courage to leave my wife.

–

Toxic narcissism was her art.

From the beginning of our life.

Only when we were apart.

Did I realize I never had a loving wife.

–

Moving to a far away land.

I began the changes that never end.

Feeling empowered and really grand.

Starting affirmations I became a best friend.

–

A new career, no longer a phony.

I started writing for a living.

Helping me pay my alimony.

And providing me was sorely missing.

–

Purpose, usefulness, and daily challenge.

Or a steady part of my career.

This is how I get my revenge.

Building a future not muddled, but clear.

–

Final words my friend for you.

We can drop a needless fuss.

The brightest future now in view.

Succeeding example for the rest of us…

Emerge, From Your Cocoon!!

Anthony5 Comments

Break the chrysalis

Smash the shell

Freed with emphasis

And happiness as well.

–

You’ve journeyed hard

You’ve quested far

Now clear regard

For all that you are.

–

The future is today

Not tomorrow

Set your past at bay

And lose all the sorrows.

–

It’s go time

Your day has arrived

Your doing fine

Pleased that you survived.

–

Spread your butterfly wings

And fly high and away

The satisfaction your hard work brings

Means more joys when you play.

–

So sing your songs

With the music, dance

You’ve righted all wrongs

When you have yourself a chance…

A New Phase

AnthonyLeave a comment

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…

Breathe softly take in air and flourish

One gentle step at a time and you’ll arrive

Grace patience and a sense of purpose

Getting your just deserves and achieving peace

Be one with the universe and manifest it all

Grow and become all you were meant to be

Roll with each punch and get closer to your goals

Strive and stretch and achieve and glow like the sun

Expand everything that is in your world and help it

Live outside your comfort zone and never return

Be all that you were meant to be and never apologize, ever….
