If You Have Never Had Crutches

if you have never had crutches you do not know this
but….
they hurt your underarms in the worst kind of way
They are clumsy and difficult to use

Sometimes they pop against a rock and you go down hard
maybe harder than you did when you broke your leg
and had to have crutches in the first place

If you go

Crutches and Chains

You are not a submissive mind. 

Or a dominant mind. 

You have attractions and desires. 

They aren’t you. They aren’t your chains. 

Neither are your life circumstances. 

You are, with the infinite. 

You experience this in the present moment.

Your mind is powerful. It is liberated. It is free. It can roam where it will. 

It

Ode To Crutches

ODE TO CRUTCHES

I had a knee replacement so I needed help
I could not walk safely by myself
So, I was given two sturdy crutches
And once I got them in my clutches
I walked here and there and everywhere
With more confidence but a bit of care
With physio my knee grew stronger
Two crutches I needed no longer
So, I progressed

Cognitive Crutches

The familiar face looked grotesque.
Indelible imprints of blood stains,
scarred the contour of his body.
His skull had crushed on the windshield..
A rampage had ripped his nerves naked...
Kinetic ardour of the car, exiled him to static rust
in a vegetative state... bereft of cognition.
But his mind still addled... in lucid ambition.

His skin could still  touch rain..
His eyes

A Man On Crutches

To the man on crutches in camouflage eating a bun
You stole my wallet... you can HIDE, but you can't RUN
Isn't that a bit insensitive
That's the general consenses
All's fair in love and gibberage when you weight a ton

Crutches, Walkers, Knee Wraps

Crutches, walkers, knee wraps, ankle wraps, wheelchairs, hot and icy.
Yes, I do have all of these things,  ice bags too, and I am not afraid to use them.
I have arthritis in my feet.  It is crazy how awful it can be to take a step sometimes and know
You cannot take another one. You

Two Walkers and a Wheelchair

Oh my yes, I do have two walkers and a chromed wheelchair.
Procured them years ago when I tore my ACL one day.
Twas a mis-adventure of missing a chair high in the air.
When I take a painful arthritic step I do not delay.
Get out my arsenal of aids and travel without a care.
Helped friends who unexpectedly

Your Why

YOUR MISSION

Where are you going?
What do you want to do?
Are your energies flowing?
Can inspiration get through?

What is your why?
What is your mission?
Are you feeling stuck?
Would you like to transition?

What are you afraid of?
What are the reasons?
Are you thinking for yourself?
Or is your mind committing treason?

Do you wake up with a purpose?
Are you holding life's reigns?
Are

The Boy With the Crutches

The Boy With The Crutches
It was a Tuesday
In February
A boy came to school on crutches
That he didn’t have
The day before.
I panicked, because I
Didn’t know
What happened.
That day, after school
I did my homework,
Ate my dinner, 
And then I got on my laptop.
I played games until 
I remembered
The boy with the crutches.
I emailed him, to ask if he

Crutches

A man on crutches passed me by
And sparked some rumination.
We all require some support
To keep in circulation.

It may not be as obvious
As crutches made of wood,
But something helps us get around
And live the lives we should.

Perhaps a person is the means
Of keeping us from falling –
A spouse or relative or friend
Who answers when we’re calling.

A

My Crutches

By: Ali Taha Alnobani

My crutches:
You shared me all my life
But I didn't
I was a bird
My wings shared the love rhyme 
To take a look before the adventure
To have love forever
***
My desire is wider than the open sea and the sky
 Feathers which grew on my two crutches
Drank the wind like a roaring waterfall
I can understand
