Stone Sparks

Years ago
I knew
What I want to do

Being excited
Energized by the dream 
Fun adventure

Just the mistake 
I made
Giving up
Before it started

Mind
Full of non existent excuses
Thoughts of failing
Dream too big
To make it happen

I regret that mistake...
That years gone by
Being in circles
Facing the endless pain

What I want is there
In front of me
Why I give a miss?

Now I am here
Little wiser and calmer
Looking at the same picture
Once I have been given 
Again, long ago

Still I have time
It is not over
I am still here

Being in my own world
Looking still
Reflecting my actions
That cause me to this state

Now knowing better
Regardless whether 
Getting a shot in this 
Learn to have fun
Making exploration
Meaningful and productive at least

One at a time
Put in more than 100 percent
Do whatever the necessary

Rest if need to
Do not stop
A bit goes a long way

Keep my passion 
Like a secret
Burning bright in my soul
That keeps me alive

Let actions speaks 
Continue to put out there
Will there be smoke
Again and again
Soon there will be fire
That makes my presence sparks
More than I was before...
