Wednesday Proverb; What If?

What if, we could be truly honest, let our love resound true? What if, we stopped holding our breath, would our soul be then able to exhale… the breadth of love? What if, kindness became more than a random act, would actions and words speak equally? What if, we truly respected boundaries, would our love be more open, our heart not built so many walls? What if, unconditional love these days, didn’t come with so many conditions; whether, wouldn’t always seem clouded? What if, sharing wasn’t bittersweet, would love be so sweet, words could never leave a proverbial bitter taste? What if, perceive didn’t deceive, would love’s truth be received wholeheartedly, despite differences? What if, the fabric of love was more than the feeling, the texture more profound than the perception? What if, love became more than a flickering light, but the lighthouse beaming, illuminating that deep love is an ocean; that doesn’t change with the tide, but helps hearts find its way, even in the darkest times? What if, love was what it was meant to be; the substantive story, not a subjective tale? Words would refrain, the heart would restrain, harmony would sustain, love would deeply reign; humanity would attain… What, not If, love’s harmonious expression!

Life’s Call!

When life calls, the heart is compelled to answer. Some try to ignore, but life will persist, no one can forever resist. When life say’s jump, the question is not how high, but how the momentum propel the beats within your heart? Will it be beats per second, or a mind racing, trying to keep up with the jones? When life calls, there’s no option to let it go to voicemail. A heart, doesn’t have to be soft spoken, to be heard. Yelling at the top of your voice, maybe compelling, but also telling; is it well, with your soul? Everyone, has a call on their life, to love wholeheartedly. When life calls, a heart has to be first willing to get up, then willing to step up, enabling love to consistently show up. When life calls for action, what’s your reaction? Is the inclination your wants, or someone else’s desperate cry, for a heartfelt response? Every day, life calls on you to be, to become, to give. Kindness, compassion, love, life’s most precious commodities; we all have it. When life calls, don’t look around, look within. It’s never the wrong number, should never be an inconvenient moment. Every heart, will get the call to act, that’s a fact. In every moment, in every season, with every breath; life demands of you, live it well, one day at a time. The question is, when life bellows, will your heart and soul say hello; I am able!

Sometimes’ not Always!

Sometimes, we doubt ourselves, think that we’re not enough, but, when we don’t question our resilience. Always, our resolve will let us know, sufficient strength makes it enough. Sometimes, we believe our heart won’t reach new heights, but, even with broken wings, the soul can still soar. Sometimes, we find our heart in an unknown place, the soul in a vulnerable state. Searching the heart, surely you will find, it’s the place your soul needed to be, so your heart can become. Sometimes, when we look in the mirror, we don’t recognize the person inside. But, when we realize it’s the reflection, that Always allow the opportunity to change your perspective, not someone else’s perception. Sometimes, we’re a bit unsure, a little insecure. So, we mask our feelings, take captive our thoughts. Let our heart walk a lonely path, through valleys with shadows, of the past. But, being sure of your purpose, takes your heart to the most secure place. Where your soul becomes tethered, to love not fear. Sometimes, it seems we’re losing our humanity, but, even when it seems all hope is lost. Love, is Always there in the midst, waiting to build back our faith. Sometimes, circumstances take your breath, but seasons change. Like how autumn’s hue, gives the soul a colorful reason to again discover, life’s breathtaking moments. Sometimes, life feels like a merry go round, other times, you feel like the conqueror of mountains. Every day, rise up and be unafraid to live your best life, again and again. Sometimes, we think our flaws could never make us beautiful, so we cover them up, thinking you’re the only heart with blemishes. But, when we know how to see inner beauty, we see flawed Sometimes, can’t define what the lens of love makes perfect. The imperfections within the heart and soul, love makes our flaws yet not be, Always!

Two-Factor Authentication; Poetry’s Escape!

The Release!

Listen, poetry has a sound, some lyrical, some so magical; it enchants mind, heart, soul. Poetry has a voice, has a message, has meaning, it has sway. Don’t say no way, I’ve heard it with my own heart, it would never play my soul. Behold, it’s at the door, rat-tat-tat, at the threshold becomes your heartbeat, lup-dup. At the tip of your soul, it becomes bold, to let words take hold, with stories to be told. Listen intently, poetry speaks, to let the soul breathe. Every profound release, provokes emotion, invokes devotion, evokes revelation. Don’t suppress it, don’t second guess it, let it be… free. Love’s eclectic vibe, let it ooze, let it choose, you as its poetic muse. Open the heart, unshackle the soul, penned words released, facilitates poetry’s escape!

Love’s Fount!

There’s an endless fount, the water so refreshing, overflow spills. The nuance stills, the love fills, my peace the overwhelming chills. My bones come alive, sounds of music thrills. Words never at a loss, like an inked quill, fount within my soul cascades. Breathless, speechless, my heart pours within the reign. In the depth of my soul, the silent river runs deep, deeper than words could show. The stillness grows, my heart utters no peep. Deep in love my soul sleep, in sweet dreams my hopes keep. Every day, breathtaking another dawn, the fount welling up within me. Poetry in motion, makes my heart swell, my breath reveal the tell; my love can’t unring the bell. My fount, it is well, in my soul!

Wednesday Proverb; Intentionally!

Whenever, you feel your mind racing, and it seems you’re in a race against time, hoping you will prevail. When, we know how to intentionally steady our soul, lace up the heartstrings, to stop tripping over our hopes and dreams. The breadth therein, will equip the breath within our soul. Love makes the heart race, not to show will power, but to display its strength. Intentionality, will always outpace deficiencies. In every race, speed is subjective, to give every moment its own perspective, to be reflective. Sometimes, the opponent is our insecurity, or a sprint trying to beat our own negativity to the finish line. Intentional actions, incentives, a positive result. Some days, we prepare for a marathon, a life well lived, will have to overcome a lifetime of obstacles. If we don’t view them as barriers, but an opportunity to shine, the soul thrives. Living intentionally, produces an inspiring story; picture it, frame it, let your legacy show it. Spiritually balanced living, empowers heart and soul, to be an overcomer. Every heart, has a proverbial blind spot, but when the peripheral lens is our shortcomings, missteps won’t define our humanity. Faith becomes resilient, not because of mind over matter, but because the heart intentionally, enables it to matter!

Wednesday Proverb; the Breadth!

Love’s profoundest breadth, hovers. Every search of the heart, how the soul discovers the deepest place. Where breathless love becomes, the place where drowning in love, takes the heart deeper. Even though, plight hides in the shadows. When our inner light shines, the breadth of love covers our heart. Giving our soul rest, even in the darkest nights. So many souls, are still waiting to exhale, love’s quintessential essence. That deepens the breadth in your soul, and enlightens the heart to truly know, to what degree the love within has been forever changed. Why, should a heart just wait for the exhale, when the life giving breadth of love, should permeate the depth of the soul. True love, doesn’t draw your breath, it takes it; makes the love divine. Love is made new, not with every breath taken, but when the breadth changes your heart’s perception. Love’s deeper meaning, more than sentiments, beyond self gain. Deep love could never have substance, without the evidence. A soul wide open, leaves the heart exposed. There’s no shame, looking like a fool, extending your heart, but the love not reciprocated. Love is the vision, seen only through the heart’s transparent lens. When the veil is removed, the breadth will transcend; space, time!

By design; Labor of Love!

Hard work and dedication is this; if you’re dedicated to work hard, life won’t become harder, than it needs to be. Love requires work, truth requires dedication. If, your heart is willing to love true, despite what you have to face. Surely, your soul will remain faithful to show love, regardless of what you have to go through!

Look at her, she’s a portrait, her love elevates my expression. Her heart a capture, my poetic muse; her worth will never pixilate. Splashes of my hue, could never enhance her inner beauty. It just lets her heart know, the texture of my love, with enough warmth to make the colors of her love vibrant. By design, when my soul inclines, the breadth of her love reclines, rest deeply on my heart. A love story, painted on the depth of my soul. My heart is whole, every heartbeat having a purpose. To tell the tale, but with every contemplation; love becomes a little more… breathtaking. Not because, it’s a beautiful portrait, but because it makes a profound difference, in the heart’s perception… of love!

In love, she was conceived; in life, her worth perceived. By design, her love was received; in death, in our hearts, she’s resting soundly. Love that permeates the soul, makes the heart whole!

Wishing everyone, a wonderful Labour Day long weekend!

Wednesday Proverb; Overcoming!

A heart, focused on getting over the proverbial hump, will surely stumble. Looking back, not forward to what, becomes the soul’s encounter, the heart’s accomplishment. Persistent love, overcomes not because of will, but because of the desire, to act. Don’t, allow a bump in the road, to upend a glass half full perspective. Whether, you’re facing a mountain, or wading through quicksand. Don’t let the struggle be, believing you’re not an overcomer. Every heart, slips up from time to time. Overwhelmed, doesn’t mean overpowered. If we don’t allow our mind, to fall for the wrong kinds of thinking. The heart, will succeed with every conscious decision. A productive soul, turns it’s hope to the light, so the heart can be enlightened. In love’s tranquility, peace is found. Stress will never paralyze, a soul living in the moment, a heart not letting the day, steal your joy. You, don’t have to conquer every fear, for your heart to triumph over adversities. Adjusting your outlook, subdues anxiety. It’s not about mastering emotions, but engaging perception, your heart’s posture; overcoming!

Mean Something!

If your heart is privileged, to be able live a lavished life, but your love not a symbol, of an intentional lifestyle; the love will mean nothing. If you’re able, to rub shoulders with the rich and famous, but your love still not enriched with kindness. How will that influence, benefit someone else’s life? Without giving back, some of love’s intrinsic nature, at best, it’s love devoid of its true meaning. At worst, make something come of its sway. Wealth of love, not about getting, but giving; having means nothing. Your words can go down in history, as profound, but if someone can’t understand, the content within the heart. Words become meaningless, without the context to provide it, something meaningful. If the heart doesn’t resonate love’s significance, the words will be void of its transcendent value. Love is not meant for sometimes, but all the time, regardless of the someone. If, love is not for everyone, then it’s not love, just something. For me and my heart, if love wasn’t for everyone, my love story would be meaningless. Nevertheless, feelings will never get between, how the love will unfold, the story told. My hope, everyone’s love can mean something, truly. Love could never be love, if from an empty place. Every heart wants to receive, but the best love, comes from the deepest place. Loving that’s true, doesn’t weigh if it’s convenient, but acts knowing the inconvenient, doesn’t weigh what’s possible. We should never be too indifferent, to not show your heart, to someone’s need. Life loses its true meaning, if someone else’s humanity, becomes less than. If we’re not moved, when love presents your heart, with a moving scene. How can your love truly say, your compassion is for everyone? Without love, it all means nothing. We all have it within, to make our love, mean Something!
