I’ve come so far Yet now’s the moment to decide Whether to find a way across Or remain isolated where I stand Calm and serene As air meets water Nothing to fear but the unknown Does the depth of my will Keep my head above water Shall I tread, ride, or fly InContinue reading “MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY: Ashore Thing”

Motivational Monday: In Memorium
Along this uncertain path that is our life We keep moving forward despite the unknown The unstable ground and mist-streamed sky Halt our progress only temporarily Forward we march toward our goals With determination, perseverance, and bravery Breaking through the clouds Though the journey may encounter danger We find peace in the knowledge that we areContinue reading “Motivational Monday: In Memorium”
Motivational Monday: The Day of My Birth
BORN OF MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT I celebrate the day of my birth Thankful to be present Despite the hurdles at the onset Getting older doesn’t cause me dread It fills me with anticipation instead I arrived ahead of schedule My spirit ready before my body Required nourishment for both As thunder rolled andContinue reading “Motivational Monday: The Day of My Birth”
Motivational Monday: A Rocky Road
Riding along the water’s surface The smooth, multi-colored stone carries us with it Our thoughts, emotions, wishes, and grievances We count its skips and the distance it travels Yet we watch without letting go We traverse a rocky road Covered with pebbles of all colors, shapes, and sizes Our worn souls tread on DespiteContinue reading “Motivational Monday: A Rocky Road”
Motivational Monday: Grave Markers
More than names and dates Our ancestral lineage lives on Through stories, memories, And mementos treasured through generations Plots of land mark those who’ve passed on People loved, despised, or a blend of the two They made an impact, yet Has the effect withstood the test of time Debate remains over religious andContinue reading “Motivational Monday: Grave Markers”

Music exists even in stillness With the rustle of leaves And melodic callsContinue reading “Motivational Monday: In the Moment”
Motivational Monday: Artist’s Tools
Via pencil or charcoal, draw your path Does it wind like a river Or split in differing directions Is the road a straight line to your goal Add vivid colors with your paintbrush or sponge Bringing life to trees, fields, and creatures Build the world around you In rustic shades of brown, red, and orangeContinue reading “Motivational Monday: Artist’s Tools”
Motivational Monday: A Child in Bloom
A helping hand as I grow Providing support and a gentle touch Love flows through her cells to mine Innocence and spirit keep me rooted Sunshine from the sky warms But not as much as the child’s smile Her laughter shakes my petals And twinkling eyes connect at my core I bloom withContinue reading “Motivational Monday: A Child in Bloom”
Motivational Monday: Untie Your Wings
Moving forward while looking back Dreaming big yet living small Imposed will Impossible decision On still we journey Towards an unknown land Destinations clouded by a morning mist Floating, falling Screeching, halting We falter and stumble along a pebbled path Littered with our own baggage We jump hurdles, crawl through, and keep going Continue reading “Motivational Monday: Untie Your Wings”
