Eventually

Today is earlier than usual. It's not like any other days, it's becoming a ritual. Tasks at hand were once confusing; like riding the waves slowly, you're cautious to not make mistakes, yet, you were falling. Eventually the ride gets easy. Even when the water is raging, you continue believing-- moving is breezy. Relax your mind and your body will follow. Allow your soul to take over, release all the sorrow-- soak in all the positivity, spirits, swallow. When things get crazy, your vision gets hazy. Just close your eyes, imagine a world where there are skies-- of no lies. Where the ground is stable; not shaken by any label. Now open your eyes; Do you see a world of disguise? Capture that vision, now you realize. The politics, views, the price of arguing-- the war, hunger, win a prize of suffering. Today is still early. It's never too late. When are you going to make a change? Start by breathing, speaking-- let your message reverberate. You're getting used to the ride. You're moving steadily--cruising. Skipping your steps, you don't mind bruising. Your journey extends through space--traversing. Eventually the ride gets easy. Even when the water is raging, you continue believing-- moving is breezy. Relax your mind and your body will follow. Allow your soul to take over, release all the sorrow-- soak in all the positivity, spirits, swallow.

Jesson, perhaps we are all striving for the same thing. However each of us have a different way of getting there. "Relax your mind and your body will follow". Very nicely put and for some of us a lifetime to achieve. Allan

Hi Allan! I really appreciate your thoughts on this poem. I agree that all of us don't follow the same route; we ultimately create our paths by what we choose to do, driven by our own motivations and aspirations. We all see the world through our own eyes; thus, different perspectives on life. It is definitely a life-long, learning experience. Being the first one to comment on this particular piece of mine, especially by someone who is a veteran here at Poetry Soup community, is truly an honor. *bows down* So, thank you Allan!
