Gratitude and Candor
Listen to poem:
Written: March 2024
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hold a revered status globally.
Strength only shines through when the glow appears.
unfolding behind them.
I sought out darkness.
I searched everywhere but found none.
I peered into my heart,
discovered the largest one.
Gently, my heart beats.
The future unfolds predictably.
Sailors had many vessels for water.
Fruits won't appear through force.
Explore all available books.
Wisdom is gained, not conferred.
Insight for the enlightened.
Four letters embody love.
We set out from our homes.
Our heads were shrouded with dust.
We bravely dodge forward.
grasping our lives in our hands.
Within our mortal gathering
existence is but a visitor,
A deep longing drives us.
to achieve sacrifices.
Youths pursue success with enthusiasm.
wielding blades to achieve their aims.
The process exacts a bloody toll.
but the stars shine on those
who demonstrate their love.
and pitch their place in history.
through daring and sacrifice.
The ego within forced me to resist.
But now I wish I had effused a love mist.
With aplomb and flair, I left it there.
For self-aware souls passing by who opt to pair.
I was so afraid of being seen.
Of being judged, of being keen,
I hid my true self away.
And let my ego have its say.
Now I realize, I am worthy of love,
including yours.
I am flawless just the way I am.
and I am ready to stand up for myself.
I'm letting fade of my ego.
And letting love flow
And I'm ready to be unfurled.
I'm Opening my heart to the world.
