Life is a challenge
Full of lessons and tests
Of our flexibility and resolve
Sometimes it pushes us to the precipice
Where we must choose
Whether to hang on
Or let go
To fall into the abyss
And claw our way through
Hoping to make it safely
To the other side
Regardless of our choices
We reflect and attract
The energy we create
~~~
Focus on destruction, blaming others for distress
Yields greater torment
Resonating through the inner core
Manifesting in words and deeds
Emanating vibrations felt by all
The strong walk away
Leaving the wretched
To wallow in their despair
While the wicked stay to feed it
And feed from it
Forming alliances of mutual contempt
Holding hands
While skipping down the path
Of mutual self-destruction
~~~
Focus on acceptance
Compassion and Love
Letting go of the heavy burden
Of anguish, worry and fear
Time is too short
For jealousy, bitterness and hate
Leaving past offenses behind
Accepting lessons learned
Is the only way
To love and be loved
Wounds and battle scars included
Magnificent
Are the fleeting moments
Of Life
