Authentic

Authentic is living from one’s perceived, core truth, it is any soul’s possibility before falsehoods root. Genuine as a babe’s new breath in bloom, authentic souls wear no masks or flaky costumes for they shape spirit, not mankind’s trendy groups. Authentic is never popular or a tolerated norm. Mankind is cruel when different fails to compute, in fact, authentic has often gained man’s abuse. Glorious eternity embraces each soul’s authentic honed jewel while earth stays those who failed authentic school

Sorry, CayCay, that it took me awhile to get over here to read this. So glad I did. I totally agree with what you say here. I love the way it ends especially. "authentic school". How cool is that? Very!

You did really well with that challenge,Caycay. Too bad there were not more winners to be had. I really enjoyed that line about babe's new breath and all the other lines of imagery you used to convey this word. You and I LOVE when people are authentic, that is for sure. Oh, I also really liked the way you kept all lines equal with eight words!

Authentic souls have high integrity and moral character which seem to be lacking in our society today, jmho. Nicely penned, CayCay. John

Hey, John. Individualism and authentic became my favorite seed-words when a teen and studying Thoreau. Decades later, they are still my special words. Even in death, that great authentic individual lifted my soul's growth. Thank you for reading. Be well ... CayCay

A powerful yet delicately stated truth elegantly expressed here CayCay. Beautifully fluid lines of your lovely thoughts and splendid imagery flow from your graceful golden pen.. Shining and contemplative poetry my friend.. Hugs.
