James Faulkner Poet Rhyme

**maturity**maturity***

Unobligated of entourages for serenity and tranquility 
Honest smiles complemented of sincerity creating stability
Withdrawals of ignorance generating wisdom and new gentility
Finally the soul moves freely with a novel sense of mobility
I welcome you maturity  

Perceptions no longer create deceptions and inner conflicts within
New meanings of comfortablity under one’s own skin 
Unengaged in following corporate America’s oblivious trend
Now I befriend a blend of enlightenment in means to amend
I welcome you maturity 

Life has more color in wiser eyes
Things become clearer such as honesty and lies
Seeing pass mine and other personas in disguise
I notice and slightly grin as my levels of realization arise
I welcome you maturity

I Thank God for delivering me from obscurity
No confusion I’m not perfect there still lays impurity
A luta continua meaning the struggle continues 
However I continue with a new sense of security
I welcome you maturity

Love & peace/ a luta continua 
-	James Faulkner

Michelle Mac Donald December 29, 2008 at 3:18 PM This is beautifully penned, James. "Al luta" as 'la lutte'. Maturity, not an easy subject to tackle nor to conquer, however, you did it marvelously well with this write. Gives one an inner sense of "peace" and serenity. Would surely add definition and clarity. Wishing you the best, James! God bless you and yours! Mikki
