Inside

I hope whoever is reading these words,
May they read into your life in some way
Let us go and walk down by the river's edge
Clear our minds of the negative dredges. 

First, reach deep, deeper down inside, 
Analyze you it's negative vibes
So, turn this negative that is attached to you
Make them positive vibes, so see it through. 

Believe in yourself and life today, 
Be a kind person, but never walk away
Be this change needed in life
Go forth, rise, and place your mark. 

Your mindset sets the stage, so start. 
Stop, deep breath, exhale—no stress,
Let us go and walk down by the river's edge
Clear our minds and settle our dredge. 

No pressure, closed eyes, 
Deep breaths, 'Look Inside.'

A much needed message in times like this, we sometimes forget the importance of kindness not just for others but to ourselves too. Brilliant word weaving

Ink, well done here crafting this comment. I am humbled to your words of wisdom. It's important to be kind and compassionate to each other. Watching the homeless family in a way that the family could feel when the aura creates a lasting bond between you, and the homeless, which is pureness, just by the look in their eyes, and hopes. You catch more bees with honey. Best Wishes.,William
