A Quiet Swagger

Folder: 
2010

A constant progression to seize today
to be better than yesterday
and remain prepared for what life hails lawlessly

 

Coping with a stoic resolve

When we are at our weakest
We must find ourselves a cool pond 

metaphorical or otherwise
hold one honest breath in after another

dip and cleanse

as many as it takes, on your ultimate whim

to dutifully expunge out all things dirty, sullen, grim

 

Those moments in time, never replicated or duplicated

nobody can wholly craft

and everybody values as wonderfully beautiful

and naturally organic

only happen a handful of times in every individual's time span 

 

So when the rubber meets the ruins

and a maskless leap ensues

you best be ready

to counter life's relentless dooms 

with a quiet swagger found

 

and a sunshine so blinding,

a numerous illuminous grouping of able lumens

must loom in from you

as an essence of humanity

an energy so sublime, it’s tangible…
because all that matters

is fueling our weathered tanks 

with the smiles of those we love

 

Those treasurous visions in good head space

become treasurous memories

that power an unyielding hue

of an energy, ever present.

 

Some call it spirituality, some call it faith
I call it opportunity

Visions of a brighter day
Fission of a broken past
Knowledge of a beaten path
Hope of the blessed, with pain surpassed
