Open Your Mind, Embrace Your Soul, Move To The Beat of Your Heart

poems from childhood

black and white film, amanda castagneto

We take on the world, expecting to be taught.

Without realization that some things need to be sought.

We expect to observe and learn from the faults of others,

We indulge in ourselves & all else we smother.

Kick back, feet up, taking notes on all mistakes...

All of which are plausible, one day they may even hold us at stake.

All in hopes to prevent the inevitable,

Not even taking the time to consider if the source is credible.

The notepad is stored, somewhere in the depths of our head,

& a spark of motivation is all there is left said.

However, words can only do so much.

It's like learning of love, but never experiencing it's touch.

Actions speak louder than words, a common cliché.

Yet this quote spells out a more blissful way.

Put down the pen and start facing change.

Stop holding onto one outlet, take on a perspective with more range.

Find your footing, let experience lure.

Breathe meaning to your actions, bring life to your words.

This world can be cruel, mean, even terrifying...

A series of unfortunate events is difficult to find satisfying.

But this is where we all must learn…

Somethings in life need to be churned.

Things that can't be discovered, taught, or found.

With this realization comes a beautiful sound.

You see, happiness does not exist, it is a creation.

One we each must take on for our own, that's the only way for self revelation.

Dig deep into your soul,

You will discover new and old.

Shine light upon what is in hibernation.

Mold your own path, instead of back tracing.

Life is short, but you can make it worth while.

Live fully, find what brings out your true smile.

Hold onto the good, release the negative, & construct the best.

Eternal bliss indeed exist, it just blends well with the rest.

So open your mind, embrace your soul, & move to the beat of your heart.

You will stumble across happiness one day, but there is only one way to start.
