daily momentum

a foundation of the mastered
moving towards the unlearned
layer upon layer of becoming
vigorous attempts towards wholeness
attainment of enlightenment
my time has come
I submit this already-written piece for Reena’s Xploration Challenge #422 as this feels like a good fit for the theme we were given this week. It was originally written on 5/1/2019 and posted here on I Write Her.

all is a mystery
awaiting discovery
the push for self-actualization
an essential drive
extending oneself to the highest
fundamental to our existence
without it
we cease to exist
at the very least – to thrive
a person’s being
guiding kernels embedded
the truth trickles in
Inspired by What do you see #298
burning hot with rage
awareness encompasses all
ice-cold knowledge
start as a blank slate
you have the time to appear
become your best self
Redux
It all hurts…
other’s cruel intentions
life’s accidental interventions
immature decisions
wounding by self-infliction
external forces not caring about consequences
But it gave me…
an understanding of people and boundaries
resilience in the face of catastrophe and tragedy
consequences and wisdom
pain to overcome
the determination to fight injustice
Life is hard but living is knowing how to keep the goodness thriving in it.

Redux
I long for the restful places
where the pain
is expelled or soothed
every thought on paper
brings a downturn of
painful emotions
an uplifting
into understanding
and peace
from hurtful emotions
a broadening
of my horizon
when I let go of
expectations
easing into serenity
and calm
finding
my happy place

a stoic’s hard stance
barricaded against harms
letting in the light
Redux
life tasked me
with motherhood
my answer
an enthusiastic acceptance
to comply
my heart grew up
and bigger with him
my life turned upside down
lessons learned changed
my future self
such a man now
a decent one
not a little big boy
he’s leading the charge
on the rest of his life
his determination
replaces my worry
his success now leads him
the torch is passed
with relief and validation
so proud
