Resilient Fortitude

Bloom in the darkness
Expand the light
Breathe in a new dawn
The end is still to write.

Create ever forward
Transmuting the pain
We will thrive beyond
The constructs that remain.

Shifting Consciousness

We are all constantly mirroring
And projecting out into the world
Either the positive or negative aspects of oneself
That needs to have light shed on it.

How do we shift the collective consciousness
To continue to look for the positive
In a world where we are constantly searching for negatives?

Seeking Harmony

Creating harmony through daily practice,
Avoiding the noise and dissonance of the world around us.
One of our internal struggles of life
Is having to deal with cutting out energies
And disturbances that we take on as humans, empaths,
And just good folks living on this earth
Versus realizing that other people’s baggage
Do not need to be our own.
Finding healthy ways of being able to save our energy,
Peace of mind and knowing that this does not belong to me,
Does not serve me.
I mean truthfully having healthy ways of saying I can let it go.

Having the strength and resilience to continue to create ways of utilizing the concepts of daily practice, gratitude, expanding one’s craft,
And being part of not only one world but three tends to drain on a person.
In this fast-paced society that we live in,
Where there is a “now, now, now” and “give-me” concept,
It has taken the idea of respecting and honoring people
And continuing to put them in as cogs in a machine.
It is an emotional toll and depressing statement to think
That in order even to be able to make it in this world,
Either we need to create something new
That has “never been seen before.”
Or end up working for a soul-crushing job
That will get us maybe minimum wage if we are fortunate,
While pursuing our actual soul-bound contract
That we would need before setting foot
On our rotations around the sun.

We are all here for the concept of abundance,
Living our life to the fullest,
And being able to change the world in a positive way
That can uplift the vibration of everyone else in the universe.
Cutting through all the noise, blocking those
Who try to take our energy and steal our energetic chi,
Looking for those silver linings of pronoia, the world is conspiring in my (your) favor
Through all of the wreckage can sometimes be a monumental task.
Of course, one can start creating daily practices,
Have mantras, meditate, and take care of the vessel
We are given, yet there needs to be something else
That continues to break this ever-going cycle and wheel
That we have found ourselves living in the rat race day to day.

If abundance is technically all around us still,
And we can have a growth mindset,
Then why do these same people continue to hoard, abuse,
And create emotional dissonance for the rest of us?
Because they are living on piles of their dragon-hoarded wealth,
They will not be able to take it with them when they leave.
What is its whole point these days?
Why not find ways of giving back to others
Or creating more harmony here on Earth?
Do they think that they are going to be able
To take it to the golden castles in the sky,
Bring them through the pearly gates,
Or save it for generations to come?
Sure, that is great as well,
But how does that help the here and now?

Embracing Gratitude

Find little ways of sharing gratitude
For all you, you beautiful creature,
You entity that has chosen to be here
During this timeline, on this earth,
To share your light and wisdom with the world.
Create beautiful things that build bridges
And share in our collective joy.
Remember to give yourself gratitude,
Something that should be shared,
Even for the smallest cases and spread out.
Choose to show compassion to yourself
As well as others.
We can be our own worst critics,
Hardest contributors to either our own personal joy
Or hell on earth.
You know this, sadly, from personal experience
As an artist, I am my largest critic,
Working each day to shed more light
And bring more positivity to myself
As well as the world around us,
Sharing in everyone else’s wins,
Yet forgetting to show joy in my own.
Shift the perspective.
Change the narrative.
You can always start again.
You can always begin anew.
Choose now.
Work towards that brighter future.

Unified Breath

We live and breathe as one entity;
It is fractured beyond belief.
The mirror that I see in you
It is one I am yet to seek.

To keep things up and above the fray,
We choose our battles wisely.
However, now, throughout the day,
We must maintain unity.

Please remember to choose love above all else.
The power of love will win the night
Even when darkness is about.

Power of Love

Rise up, choose, become the power of love.
It outweighs and can heal so much in this world.
We may be viewing our differences at this moment.
Stop choosing fear.
Stop choosing to utilize the concept of pain and suffering and abuse in the world.
This is a time to continue to push onward and forward and fight for humanity,
Uplifting the lowest common denominator,
And making sure that we all have the ability to thrive in abundance.

Believe

Stand UP
Believe
Trust
Keep the light on
Honor Humanity
Brighten that darkness
Believe
Karma will prevail; they pay their dues
Live in Dharma
The world will find peace
We will RISE UP
Peacefully
Beauty in choosing love
We will survive
It will be fine

Ripples of Change

This is all I know,
And even with the world in its state,
Maybe, just maybe,
I will make that ripple
That helps change another’s fate.

Bleed the Same

Oh, whisper softly, that sweet death,
The only friend that has been with me since the beginning,
Knowing that one day we would meet.
That day, however, is not today,
Not soon, not yet,
Only when I have met my one last breath.

I have left this mark upon this earth,
Having that goal in sight, in mind,
That has the seeded root since birth,
Being able to create beauty from that pain,
Showcasing that all of us here are of one name,
Brothers and sisters everywhere.

We are family, no matter what may fare,
Unveiling the fractures within,
Finding more peace between fellow humans.
