Motivational Monday Poem: Writer’s Train
Language speeding past In a blend of light and sound Energizing the artist on the Central platform Hurried words without a plot Poetry in motion Song breaking barriers Play, uncast The singular artist Absorbs, reflects, and absorbs The mind electric and the body tingling Ready to board the train Not as a passenger,Continue reading “Motivational Monday Poem: Writer’s Train”

Motivational Monday Poem: Hands of Bravery

Motivational Monday Poem: Characters in Waiting
Mesmerized into separation Floating through time and space Alone without loneliness Trapped in imagination Characters, alive in thought Strangers to all but one Their paths pre-determined By the whim of the pen They flourish or suffer A single artist the puppet master Locked away until needed Pleas echoing off figmented clouds Fictional silhouettesContinue reading “Motivational Monday Poem: Characters in Waiting”
Motivational Monday Poem: Ancestral Connections
Myths, folklore, ancestral connections Embedded in my memory Energizing my spirit The paths of those who came before Walking alongside my own Ethereal Celtic voices and harps Drums and flutes of the First Nation Lungs coated by coal dust Hands that pulse with the earth’s soul Your imprints grounded in nature and DNA Continue reading “Motivational Monday Poem: Ancestral Connections”

Motivational Monday Poem: Destinations Known
Energy, pure and radiant Kissing the skin, Warming the spirit Connecting us to past, present, and future Alive to the moment Cognizant of what came before Transfixed and determined Moving ahead while looking back Paths winding and veiled by fog Heading toward destinations uncertain But not unknown
