Hope Will Bring Forth Your Authentic Self
Bask in its glory at the dawning of every new day
The wind enters through an open window,
Breathing life and hope across the platform,
Another day has dawned,
Along with the brewing of a much needed storm.
***
A day that is innocent,
Yours to do with as you will,
Choose wisely my friend,
As your choice will give you the experience you instil.
***
Hope is a glorious mechanism,
Filling every broken crack with light and joy,
Bask in its glory,
Smother yourself in it and enjoy.
***
Imagine a life of precious hopeful days,
Block the thoughts of difficult choices,
The complicated twists of fate,
Pick up hope, watching your mood as it rejoices.
***
Your super power is that precious optimism,
A strength that powers you to become your absolute best,
Freely share with those you adore,
And leave the darkness behind you, take a rest.
***
Shimmer with magical faith,
Lead a life of promise as deep as you wish,
You’re your own master of destiny,
Allowing the promises of life’s deepest kiss.
***
Run with the light of hopeful fantasies,
Use them as a shield against darkening times,
Surround yourself in positivity,
Live earnestly of a thousand lifetimes.
***
Dampen the troubled days with your anticipation,
Rise to the challenge of your authentic self,
Carry hope in your heart, share the joy,
Push any pain to the back of the shelf.
***
Live a thousand seconds every few minutes,
Knowing you are the greatest of all cellular structure,
Bursting at the seams of possibilities,
Hold tight your sense of hope and allow it to rupture.
***
Oh, the glorious days I promise you’ll travel,
Experiencing the magic of this precious life we lead,
Day after day dawning in delight,
With hope as your friend, you’re guaranteed to succeed.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.
