Resilience: Heart of a Champion

Life can sometimes come at you hard and fierce, making your heart think it’s in the fight of its life. So many of us have learned the art of a fighter, bob and weave. Pretend our soul floats like a graceful butterfly, all while trying to avoid its sting. Only to have life knock you down, taunt you with its subtle whisper; throw in the towel, I’m the greatest. But show life it’s profoundly underestimating your resilience, you know how to hold your own… heart, and rise up with fire in your soul. Sure, life may not allow you to catch your breath, some days; breathing seems optional. When out of nowhere, with a sucker punch, life knocks you to your knees. Your heart absolutely stunned, shook; life could mistake being on your knees as a sign of weakness. That’s where you find your most resolute strength, within the arms of your savior; who says, I’m in your corner, life isn’t going to defeat you, today. Get back in the fight, and tell life, is that all you’ve got? You’ve come at me with your best, put my heart to the test, but I’m still standing. Knowing how to take a punch, and still keep moving forward; the heart of a champion. Jab, jab, stick and move, bob and weave; show life, your heart and soul is in it to win it. Even if a low blow rocks your core, don’t abandon your values. Do a gut check, and vigorously contend for your peace of mind. Sometimes, all you need is a change in your heart’s perspective to know. Your soul isn’t in it to attain a meaningless title, your heart’s quest is acquiring an undisputed character. Life exists to be a worthy opponent, but it can’t defeat a heart who has learned its simple truth; life’s past triumphs don’t determine future victories, hope reinvigorates faith to overcome. Life best fought, with a surrendered heart!

Love’s call, its every subtle whisper beckoning you, deeper. Its deep river, motions my innermost deeply; asking my soul to descend into its depth.

Yet love, I don’t know who I would be, if not your gentle nudge, my heartstrings tethered to your endless sway. For now, my soul feels so much at home, falling deeper into your breathless ocean.

Life’s Repositioning!

The Shift!

When a sixth gear isn’t enough, there can still be a persuasive shift. At every dawn, after every yawn, don’t ever let your heart hide, the right perspective changes the tide; take the day on another ride. One, two; buckle your shoe. Three, four; shut the door, to negative impulses. Every day, gear your love’s observation, ignite your soul’s dedication, engage your heart’s rhythmical perception; take hold of mind, and let the goodness roll. No need for pedal to the metal, or any off tempo rhythmic blues. Keep your heart on a swivel, with every shift a repositioning; heart and soul another level. A heart forever racing, the shift attaining love’s excellence, not every heartbeat chasing elusive perfection. Within every high octane well maintained spirit, shift’s sway already taken place! 

Shift’s Poetic Sway!

What if you held to the shift forever, would your heart still be able to believe your soul has another gear?

What if every shift brought a wave of emotion, would it overwhelm your perception? Would the air in your lungs be enough to engage your heartbeat to another level?

What if the shift gave your heart’s gaze better clarity; would a mere glimpse be enough to keep your hopes and dreams focused?

What if the rhythm of your heart was erratic, would every fiber of being experience an impulsive change in perspective?

What if, what if? What if your heart stopped holding its breadth; would your mind be able to comprehend moments in life, within your soul another shift, perpetual repositioning?

Never, Ever! 

Never, do I ever want to see the day; love’s enlightened vision loses sight, every horizon portrays its luminous light. Why should any soul give up the fight, ever let its heart not beat with all its might? Life’s ornate breadth taken in through proverbial eyes only, one’s heart never opened up wide enough to realize, intuitively love also expands the depth within one’s soul. Why we should never allow doubts to creep, from within love should organically seep. All hearts are not quintessentially deep, but never-ever underestimate how significant a role your love should play. Love painted from the heart, never tainted by an insignificant brush. Moments can make life feel rushed, awkward moments can make a soul blush; but never would the essence of love’s gentleness fail to make a grieved heart hush. True love hurts never, holds you close what-ever, deeply loves for-ever. Even, when cascading rain leaves eyes misted, even within the midst love’s persuading reign never remiss, to soothe heartfelt with its endearing kiss. Never, should anyone ever let its heart drift from a peaceful sure, unless it’s to drown breathless in love’s deepest ocean. Love is a life preserver; moreover, will never be a confidence betrayer. Though clouds loom, time still leaves room for flowers to bloom. Question is, could any heart think its soul could ever live a fulfilling life, without love being its quintessential reason; Never, Ever!

Autumn’s Intuitive Hue! 

Pictures through the lens of Warren Richards

The heart, swayed by love’s intuitive breadth. The soul, moved by the vibrancy of autumn’s hue; heart and soul, left profoundly breathless by love’s divine allure. Every breath taken, every exhale released, its essence held within the pages of life’s ornate beauty. Though tears fall, love’s reign comes leaving its sublime due, soothing misty blues.

Loses its quintessential appeal, if love’s natural tapestry, yet not the fabric of its mosaic texture!
