Break through
When seeking something new
and feeling you’re off-track
Your fear can be the clue
of where you can break through…
Become the part
I need a saving hero
to champion a new start
So stronger every day
I become the part
Make your mark
Brightly through the ending
share each ember of your spark
Time is yours for spending
Live with love…
The music of the music
Within the music
of the music
sing stories
deeper than song
Clarity
Clarity of purpose
clarifies the mind
Distilling from distraction
right action…
Soul of the seed
The soul of tree
was enormous indeed
The moment it started
as seed
Delicate idea
Choose with care
and only share
that delicate new idea
with those with the ability…
Life’s guitar
I’m a string on life’s guitar
tuned with the tension to ring
Too loose and I flap
too tight and I snap…
Sprouts
Our garden now is filled
with many tiny sprouts
gently set amongst
the flowers we know…
Fast
Hurrying forward
with tension and fear
The meaning in life slips past
In taking the time…
Creator and Curator
The Creator plants the seeds,
grows the trees and gives them root
The Curator pulls the weeds,
prunes the limbs and picks the fruit…

Until I Succeed
I’ll persist to my goal
no matter the speed
I will brave through each failure
until I succeed
Do it
The fastest way around it
…is through it…
dodge the doubt
and just do it
Keep on going
How long will it take
There’s no way of knowing
Commit to completing
…and just keep on going
The experience
Life is not a problem to be solved
or an answer to be shown
but an experience to be felt
and an aching to be known
Stillness and Slow
Beneath the drive to succeed
and the hustle to grow
there’s a power in stillness
and a magic in the slow
Being
From a different level
of being
comes a different level
of seeing
Fire
Let the fire of your failure
fuel the furnace of your soul
obliterate what binds you
and alight you to your whole
Beneath the drive to succeed
and the hustle to grow
there’s a power in stillness
and a magic in the slow
A bad day
can stir up strife
don’t see it as
a bad life
From a different level
of being
comes a different level
of seeing
Let the fire of your failure
fuel the furnace of your soul
obliterate what binds you
and alight you to your whole
The most valuable action to take
might not be something new
yet something your forsake
and something you choose not to do
With a simple rephrase of a question
You can alter the path of a plan
From the victim approach of “why did…?”
To the hero approach of “how can…?”
Special through and through
You are the only you
…ever
Look within and name it
To transform the fear
and tame it
