Be Free And See

AnthonyLeave a comment

You can be completely free

Of all that you think you see. 

–

Step back and just go with the flow 

Discard what you think you know.

–

Make adjustments to your perspective lens

Take pause and reevaluate your friends.

–

The complicated becomes simple then 

Just like learning how to count to ten.

–

This is the time, take control of your life 

Letting others do so will result in strife.

–

What’s yesterday will not last 

Letting go from a difficult past.

–

Face your pain with self confession

Take pause and learn every lesson.

–

Do what brings peace to your mind 

Surrounded by people of a like kind.

–

What were hobbies become careers

With self belief, not what you hear.

–

Make a mantra of positive thought

Achieving all you’ve ever sought. 

–

Living one affirmation after another 

More aspects of yourself uncovered.

–

Only then will you truly be free

of old hindrances you used to see.

The Old Man and the Mirror

Anthony7 Comments

Look in the mirror what do I see?

Gray old man looking back at me.

–

Where did all the years go

So fast the time does flow.

–

My beard is full and such curly hair

Has thoroughly caught me unawares.

–

Life is strange as it moves by fast

Wondering how long this life will last.

–

Oh my mirror must you be cruel 

Showing me I was such a fool.

–

My lifetime hasn’t all been a blast

Cold harsh realities in distant past.

–

Take some stock it wasn’t all a waste

Parts of our lives have a bitter taste.

–

The hardest lessons have been learned 

To assure a far better life in return.

–

A drip in the sink drops with kerplunk

I set down my razor and bathroom junk.

–

Now I’m shaven and my teeth are clean

I’m far better than I have ever been.

–

The time for reflection is at an end

Let’s resume your living my friend.

–

Take the time and lessons, discard strife

And resume living your very best life…
