PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Sometimes when days turn to weeks, to months, to years

life's thrill of discovery

and sense of wonderment fade

In no uncertain terms, this is undoubtedly expected - nearly welcomed by many.

Wisdom and experience denotes the absence of the rat race

associated with vivid naivety

resulting in healthy, tailored realizations

and sensible limitations abound

But if a sizable amount of life lessons

remain unburnt in raw mental wood

or if redeemable quests' rewards

remain wholly misunderstood

the cranial dulling

of brightest colors internal

runs a risk of warning labels erased

if mental sun emerges nocturnal

Sudden fear when your warped reality 

not in lockstep with a loved one's noble sanity

Terror surfaces, leading to hiding

from revered eyes in plain sight

powerful, yet equally blinding

alleviated in validated light

Chaos boundless

overruns

open opportunities shunned

when a pure heart within obstructive muck

of bad outlooks and worse luck

in acceptance

opens up!

The ability to thrive, much easier

accepting loose freedom in this ether

as a beacon rather than pylon

generates rocket fuel to surge upon

a power to bond and destabilize notions wrong

fulfilling a promise to generations

before and offspring everlong

taking your place on rightful perch

discarding the worries of pounds to envision your worth

satisfaction reigns with courage to burn

when you offer wheels grease to turn
