Keep thinking, keep interested, keep praying, keep dreaming. Be mentally sensitive at all times so that the magic word that motivates you may one day speak to your deep inner self. Norman Vincent Peale
____________________________________________
Keep faith and brace to initiate your wave. Stay resilient—reject to succumb or cave. Dwell directly down the desire you have set. Venture for your ambitions without regret. Strive to weather any obstacle or spree. Undying faith and clear aims are success key Implies sacrifice, commitment, and skill too These are critical to an edge or breakthrough. Fulfill your goals, none is vain if you believe. No drag can be dealt and no dole can deceive. After exertion—there is no desultory vitality. Never settle for a skewed version of reality.   I was supine simply—staring at the wall. Blinding lights shatter the glass hall. Growing an overwhelming feeling of fear. I still close my eyes and dream of sheer    Strolling in a dense woodland as it gets dark Bright stars and an orange moon draw a spark. Anything in my close vicinity is lively and alive. Soaked and at peace, with no drive to strive.   The faded history will be right in our grasp. The faults and lofty goals no longer unclasp. In the deepest, darkest world, there is no fear. I am presently unfettered, resistant, and clear. Living this way would have been flawless. Relishing the splendor, peace, and aweless. Realizing that our destiny is in His control. Trusting His epic might bestow souls console. Embrace the light of faith—let fears starve. Dreaming, wishing, and aiming may carve That's why I keep trying; it's due to one desire. A dream of freedom and justice never conspires.    If you have faith, your dreams will come true. And boldly uncover the potential inside you. Thus, resist the urge to cave up and cave in. Keep your faith and let your adventure spin.

An invigorating and inspirational poem, dearest Sotto. In my mind, faith is an unextinguishable and slow-burning fire within. You've given it life in your words. I loved 'Strive to weather any obstacle or spree.' Reminds me of the words to the song, "The Impossible Dream" and quixotic, inspirational dreams. I often think of Don Quixote. I'm rambling. Will have to fave this one. It 'spoke' to me. Have a splendid Friday...all my best, Sara
