Are you passing on love or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.
Good morning. Welcome to the poetry day on the blog. I’m pretty direct when I speak my opinions. What you see is what you get, with me. So, writing a poem is sometimes hard for me. Poetry leans towards more mystery, intuition, and what the readers, themselves, bring to the poem. Poetry is like a painting. What it means to one person, can be interpreted entirely different by another person. It’s brave to write poetry. Poetry requires dropping some masks. Drop a mask today. Write a poem. You won’t regret it. Here’s my poem for the day:
The Starting Block
The starting gate is a little jammed, my friend.
But you’ll get through it in the end.
You want to run through with a clear mind and strong heart,
So that may mean mulling and resting before you start.
The solid, broad finish line will always be there,
but is the ending, really where you should put all of your care?
The journey is made of many new races,
Full of new things, and faces and places.
You’re eager to start a fresh, new race to the finish,
Having run many races, your fears are diminished.
But remember that each race that you run has its own unique gift.
Take your time. Take your pause. Don’t let yourself go adrift.
The starting gate is starting to break free to open itself wide.
To go beyond it, let your deepest innateness be your guide.
