Never Surrender Your Dreams

The time has come for me to write my last post of 2016. As always, I want to say, “Thank you” to everyone who has visited my site, liked a post, or left a comment. As with any approaching new year, and now, a new presidency, life is full of uncertainty. On the flip side of this, life can also be full of possibilities. I want 2017 to be a year of possibilities, opportunities, and growth. May all of you make the very best of your 2017 and beyond.

There’s uncertain travels on the long road to somewhere.

Twists and turns on a questionable road.

Unpaved paths to new unknowns,

That make you put guarded faith on the line.

Unpaved paths to new unknowns,

That make you put guarded faith on the line.

Uncertainty and doubt are heavy loads to bear,

And these elements eat away at one’s core.

Too far forward, so there’s no turning back now,

But for a moment in time, one’s feet are frozen still.

More road to travel, but the frightened heart wants to say it’s the end.

What if?

What happens at the end of the road?

When the hope dies out,

And positive vibes become non existent?

A stagnant existence is born that kills each breath taken,

And causes one to fade.

One will never know the possibilities.

What if?

What happens on the road still taken?

When you muster the strength to drop the load of uncertainty and doubt.

The body is now light.

Fluid movements allow you to just be.

Free.

And one can now see with clear eyes.

There’s something about being free,

That causes the body to press on.

Keep moving. Keep striving. Keep searching.

There’s a chance you’ll see what your heart is searching for.

Take that chance.

Never surrender your dreams.

Having  the  time  to  reflect  on  self,

I’ve  come  to  realize  that  what  I  seek  is  within  me.

I’ve  wallowed  in  self  doubt,  and  in  the  process

I’ve  put  creative  dreams  on  hold.

Always  making  excuses  for  what  I  can’t  do  and  why,

And  what  I  don’t  have  time  for.

The  years  have  slipped  away  for  making  dreams  a  reality.

The  years  have  slipped  away,  but  time  allows  for  second  attempts,

For  me  to  make  the  best  of  time  that’s  left.

I  see  so  clearly  now,  and  my  senses  are  alive.

I  feel  revived  as  if  a  new  me  has  been  born.

With  a  new  sense  of  self,  I  will create

What  might  be  the  masterpiece  of  a  lifetime.

A  masterpiece  to  make  me  weep  tears  of  joy

That  I  accomplished  what  I  set  forth  to  do.

I’ve  decided  to  put  fear  aside,  and  make  my  dreams  a  reality.

I  shall  try  once  again  without  reservation.

Having  the  time  to  reflect  on  self,

I’ve  come  to  realize  that  what  I  seek  is  within  me.

It’s  Creativity.

It’s  Happiness.

It’s  Paradise.
