Fire Journey

AnthonyLeave a comment

Standing against a fierce gale

A weighted pack upon my back

Taking on my largest fail

And using it to get on track

–

One step then two

Forward I move

My destination looms

As I get into my groove

–

Further, now I slowly progress

Pebbles and stones sting my face

Stepping into a new life was for the best

Your happiness will never go to waste

–

The steepness of this whistling hill

Is now slowly abating

Continuing the journey still

For a great future that’s waiting

–

The wind whips a final fury

As I reach the top of the hill

The final vertical awaits among the jury

As I reached the summit by my sheer will

–

I looked down from the top

And I can’t believe how far it goes

This phase, my evolution is at a stop

And I take stock of my previous woes

–

Who I am and who I’ll be

Was determined by this trek

The world will have to wait and see

My greatness versus the previous spec

–

Jubilation fills my heart

As I celebrate on this ridge

New exciting adventures will start

Now that I’ve crossed this shaky bridge

–

This is the end of the the beginning

Applying the lessons I’ve learned

This former loser now is winning

A life of happiness I have earned.

Life Shining Bright

Anthony7 Comments

Your life is shining so bright 

Hard to tell if it’s day or night.

–

You’re a bright shining star

Just for being who you are.

–

You were made in your own special way

Embrace your ‘inner weird’ in work and play.

–

Being you has been a series of feats

As each evolution the self completes.

–

Life will pass you, in the blink of an eye 

Live it well as you can, before you die.

–

You’ve got all of this and much more 

Life is the game and you know the score.

–

Living your dreams and blazing a trail

Taking control of your life without fail.

–

Challenging yourself and all you know

With each lesson you further grow.

–

Don’t look back unless with a smile 

Negative dwelling cramps your style.

–

Adages say “things happen for reasons”

Some short, while others last seasons.

–

So just sit back, smile, beaming with pride 

Fasten your safety belt, and enjoy the ride.

I’m Me, I’m Free

Anthony4 Comments

I am the music to your ears

Note by note I’ll always be there 

As my hands wipe away tears

Consistency beyond compare.

–

I am creative, occasionally aloof

I am king of my own castle

My life and sign are definite proof

Being another way is such a hassle.

–

I am me and it’s taken a time

To best figure who I am

Loving yourself is not a crime

So don’t expect to get a sham.

–

I am the song in your heart

A pleasant melody to hear 

Only pure love will I impart 

So you have, nothing to fear.

–

I am writing as we speak

Kind words are coming fourth

Many lovers search and seek

All to find the purest source.

–

So if you see me I won’t be loud

As I’m constantly writing prose

My determination make me proud

Of such many things I suppose…

Forward move 

To a nice groove.

Each day now is an adventure

No longer being censured.

–

A happier we

Life drama free.

–

We’re off the shelves 

Challenging ourselves.

–

What else can we say 

We’re happier today.

–

Finding ourselves at 50 

Solving the ish is nifty.

–

It’s never too late 

So don’t hesitate.

–

There’s always tomorrow 

Despite a past sorrow.

–

Be like me be brave

It’s your own life you’ll save…

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…

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…

Complete This Work

Anthony1 Comment

It’s by my own accord.

That I share this verse.

Little else I can afford.

Shaky as I type my prose.

Seeing if my iPhone is mightier than the sword.

Reaching deep inside counting the syllables.

Hanging on my every word.

I really couldn’t do much worse.

So is its completion, my reward???

Our Best Selves Ever

Anthony2 Comments

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..

Self Evolution

I’ve evolved extensively on my life’s journey.

–

In the past I wished I was like everyone else

I had trouble accepting my uniqueness.

Today, I embrace my inner weird, big time

I appreciate my nonconformity

And I truly wholly love myself…

Standing

-Standing, alone but strong and firm.

-Waking each day filled with gratitude and an increasing sense of wonderment.

-Sitting silently contemplating change and where it will bring life.

-Lying down, softly encouraging the placement of each new brick, as I rebuild a foundation.

-Loving every second in this life, it’s been far from easy but nothing should be altered.

-Feeling each moment to the next and absorbing everything around me.

-Tasting the air the saltiness of it the freshness this is bliss.

-Holding fast and dropping obsession with a past that cannot change.

-Chomping at the bit for a future of endless fun and adventure.

-Closing chocolate-eyes and dreaming of desires and making them realities.

-Finding oneself and grabbing onto this wild eccentric person destined, without fear, trepidation or hesitation.

-Burning flames of a past to ignite a future that is, everything…

We have fire imparted in the depths of our soul that refuses to go out.

Powerful and persistent it’s fed by our hearts and unique love that shaped us.

Its presence leaves us with a soft blanket of reassurance like a mother’s hug.

The drive we have when facing the utmost of challenges comes from there.

That last ounce of energy we beg for to defy the impossible comes from there.

Moments where we are stretched to the edge of our frail minds and bodies it’s there.

The sadness when our hearts break and throughout our rebuilds, it’s there.

All triumphs and tragedies it shares the heaviest burdens never fading out for even a moment.

Sparking the best in us and pushing us to want better for ourselves and those around us.

Share that fire, spark the flame in others and watch their eyes change forever.

Know you’re miniaturized starlight never dimming despite the darkness.

No matter the lesson, look inside, and see the burning flame beckoning you onward forward…

Silent Revelations

Quietly sit down .

Just close your eyes and listen.

You can just hear it .

Between here and there .

The softest sound in nothing.

It whispers to you .

What does it say?

Some kind of revelation?

Or it’s THE ANSWER?

–

One you need to hear.

Reassurance on changes.

You made in your life.

–

Make a better you.

The best you right here right now.

So pay attention!

–

Don’t miss the soft voice.

Calling you back to yourself.

That is your guide.

To a better life.

Filled with love and fulfillment.

And much happiness…
