Judge a Book by It’s Content
Dandelions in the fields
Weeds that help to heal
Some pull and pluck and kill
The plant is a weed
Something too ill
Not knowing the speed
To cure, mend, and feed
Don’t judge a book by it’s cover
Judge a book by it’s content
Everything has a purpose and grace
Even in the most forsaken place
The weed thrives, cures, and blooms
History’s Baggage Turned Into Blessings
If your hands are full of hate
You can’t receive peace
If your heart is full of bitterness
You have no room for love
If your mind is full of fear
You can’t think of paths as clear
If you hang on to history’s baggage
You can’t fly into promised lands
Sometimes loosing is not a loss
If you are opening and making room
For what is yet to come
What Weights You Down is Not an Anchor
What weights you down
Is not an anchor
When your hands are full
Your heart is empty
Your brain is blinded
Your intuition sidelined
You can’t receive
If you don’t let go
Of what weights you down
To release
Is to receive, and be freed
Through Dirt You Bloom
The flower bloomed
Because of dirt
Through shit and gloom
Because of hurt
The more dirt some threw
The more the flower grew
Some called it dirt
The flower called it fertilizer
Than went on to Bloom
New Year Absolutionns or Resolutions
New Year New Me
as if the old me was not me
as if I have to renounce
or never pronounce
what created, molded, taught,
and shaped
who I be
New year resolutions
turned into absolutions
but only if and only
if you actually meet them
I am me
this new year
I’ll be me
next new year, I’ll be me
stronger, wiser, better, faster,
resting, doing, achieving
failing, succeeding
adding subtracting
adjusting
Not because it’s a new year
Not because it’s a new me
but because I know life changes regardless
there is no pause
no new year needed to change
or stay the same if that works
The Grind
