**maturity**maturity***

Unobligated of entourages for serenity and tranquility Honest smiles complemented of sincerity creating stability Withdrawals of ignorance generating wisdom and new gentility Finally the soul moves freely with a novel sense of mobility I welcome you maturity Perceptions no longer create deceptions and inner conflicts within New meanings of comfortablity under one’s own skin Unengaged in following corporate America’s oblivious trend Now I befriend a blend of enlightenment in means to amend I welcome you maturity Life has more color in wiser eyes Things become clearer such as honesty and lies Seeing pass mine and other personas in disguise I notice and slightly grin as my levels of realization arise I welcome you maturity I Thank God for delivering me from obscurity No confusion I’m not perfect there still lays impurity A luta continua meaning the struggle continues However I continue with a new sense of security I welcome you maturity Love & peace/ a luta continua - James Faulkner

This is beautifully penned, James. "Al luta" as 'la lutte'. Maturity, not an easy subject to tackle nor to conquer, however, you did it marvelously well with this write. Gives one an inner sense of "peace" and serenity. Would surely add definition and clarity. Wishing you the best, James! God bless you and yours! Mikki
