Turbulence

Not for the faint of heart

Rising from the very start

Switching back and forth like a pendulum

Hiding in the shadows

Yet eventually rinsing

Making issues along the way

I wish it would not stay

Turbulence is hard

It is brutal and cunning

Surprising those from the inside out

Making problems bigger

Handing out blows from every angle

Sharper than a sword

Quieter than a heartbeat

Faster than an ant

Reaching further than your past

Don’t let this turbulence drag you down

Keep a smile instead of a frown

Wear the suit of heroes before you

Use the strength you always have had

Sure it will come and edge closer

Maybe perhaps it will carry you down

But that doesn’t have to beat you

That turbulence doesn’t have to succeed

We fight, we maintain, and we long for something better

Something meaningful and constant.

Then is when turbulence will be shifted into good for you.

Poem

Change, by MwsR

When the time comes that you to reflect on your life and the things you’ve done
Will you see someone smart or someone dumb?
Those things you thought were fun,
The things that you swore hurt no one.
Were they worth it?
Were they proper or were they like that of a nitwit?
Are the ones that stood with you now standing apart?
You already know the answer because it is deep in your heart.
Time can’t erase certain deeds, certain paths you chose, the things left undone,
You can’t blame that on anyone.
Certain people let you down, you say
I’m certain they would not see it that way!
No one controls your spontaneous combustion,
It is certainly your life, not theirs that needs constant adjustment.
Go ahead smell all those “roses”,
Hang around all those that constantly pose,
But when that gets old or you find some other venue
Maybe you will see what you’ve put those that love you through.
It’s hard to be happy when you’re playing catch up all the time
Trust me, I’ve seen that with friends of mine.
Think before you act
Always leave things intact.
Don’t refuse to pay back anyone who’s lent you a hand
Take the praise and the reprimand.
Swallow your pride,
Keep your mouth closed from the inside.
Listen to reason,
Be willing to change wrong things just like the months change the season.

“And you will be a man, my son.” (If, by Rudyard Kipling”)

Poem

Heart Moon…

There’s a moon in my heart.
It only comes out in times of darkness.

You’ll never hear it remark
For it has no words.

Shining yet a shadow over feelings and thoughts.

The purpose of it is quite simple
It is to give a new definition
Give a different perspective.

Like all moons, it can be seen, not taken
And felt by only its maker.

Without it, my heart would have stayed black.
You could say without it I’d never had made it back…

I’m grateful for my heart moon.
Evidence of change..
