Eventually (part two)

Sometimes all you can do is try; hope, trust that you'll figure it out. From the source, raindrops become a river that just flows, whether the scorching sun will carry it up yonder via evaporation, or whether it will snake its way to the sea, it nonetheless flows. Keep going, you'll be a step closer to your destination with every move you make. Titi la nyati halikamuliwi kwa staha chambilecho wahenga, and it’s true, nothing major comes easy. Take a leap of faith, find your footing in unchartered terrain, swim in murky waters; eventually the tears will dry, I guarantee you that much.

Allow the pen (part one)

Dear beloved, life will throw you under the bus because it can, things will end, doors will close, people will walk away, leave you, or die. Grieve, deal, live. Whatever season you're in, it shall pass, because everything is everything. Make hay while the sun shines because remember, during a hot day, water evaporates, and rain clouds are formed. Seasons change but they are seasons nonetheless.

Follow your bliss, but remember to sway and bend with the wind so you don't get uprooted. And yes, be rooted, firmly, let your vision so shine that it illuminates away the dark energy people try to smother your mind with. When something ends, accept the grace provided to deal with the loss, shed every tear that wants to fall but remember time and tide waits for no man. Grieve, sieve, live. Keep the lessons, not the pain.

Allow no one to break you unless it's for your good. Don't hold on to broken chords, if it's over let go, take stock and move forward, by moving you whisper to the universe that you may have emerged bloody but unbowed. And life loves its warriors, so keep moving, or stand still to catch your breath but never ever retrogress. NEVER. If a chapter comes to a close, flip the page, allow the pen to be the pen, your story never truly ends.

Coelacanth

This month,

I promise myself I shall move earth,

My name shall be etched in the books of history,

This month,

I promise to give self-doubt a wide berth,

And unlock the greatness inside of me; my mystery.

Different frame of mind,

Last month's hurdles left behind,

I'm on that new grind,

To failure I'm blind,

No more replay or rewind,

I'm breaking the fetters that bind,

Until satisfaction I find,

To failure I'm blind.

This month,

I promise not to focus on dearth,

But on possibilities,

This month,

I promise to spare myself the wrath,

Of unspoken realities,

I promise to breathe, I promise to dance,

I promise not to seethe, in retrospect but seize every chance.

Different frame of mind, 

Last month's heartbreaks left behind,

I'm on that new grind; to failure I'm blind,

No more replay or rewind,

I'm breaking the fetters that bind,

Until satisfaction I find, to failure I'm blind.........

Though success has be rare like a Coelacanth, I shall go harder this month, I shall go harder this month, till I find my Coelacanth
