The bridge burns fiercely
on a lifetime’s kindling.
(Love has skipped town)
Connections compromised.
Truths floating,
suspended in plain view.
Charred possibilities
still too close to the flames.
A powerful ego dances madly,
extinguishing living potential.
Smoke circles of options dissipate.
White light and love, attempting
to create new pathways
for momentary growth.
The final tear falls.
I turn, walking away.
My own bridge beckoning me.
Slave to the rhythm
Slave to the mind
Slave to the fears
That riddle mankind
Slave to the caress
Slave to the touch
Slave to the feel
That exquisite crutch
Slave to the ego
Slave to the goal
Slave to the doubt
That unconscious toll
Slave to the minutes
Slave to the clock
Slave to the time
That mental gridlock
Is your life full to the brim
With what you’re told to do?
Overflowing with other’s opinions
That are neither relevant nor true
It is time to make your debut
Remove the shackles of your past
Sow the seeds of pure potential
We’re not designed to be typecast
Judgement kills the spirit
Will just keep you small
Imprisons carefree thinking
We’re really here to have a ball
There is no now, or never
In this moment is where we stand
The integrity gap then narrows
Life unfolding as was planned
Abundance, not a state of mind
Not an ego created prize
Acceptance is what creates the space
For your purpose to materialise
You’ll never be able to second guess
Nor read another’s mind
It’s futile thinking, that’s for sure
Projections are all you’ll find
Just be, without approval sought
No comparisons need be made
Don’t procrastinate, just make the choice
To step out from the shade
Observe how others ebb and flow
Whilst sticking to the crowd
Asleep to who they actually are
Whilst their ego stands up proud
Review your motives; do not hide
Behind someone else’s dream
Completely trust to find your path
Your own truth is what you gleam
Step forward into your own embrace
Without loss or false control
Your pride perhaps misguided
In pursuing another’s bankroll
Too many spend time living
Through a pre-prescribed idea
Of how others have lived before them
That’s what stops you shifting gear
The desire to belittle, to resent others gain
Comes from fear of inadequacy; a jealous disdain
Stop looking around, to make your life whole
Dissatisfaction comes, when perfection is your goal
We live in a time full of promise and joy
Apprehension a feeling, a thinking decoy
Life doesn’t happen, don’t be dragged by its pull
Look closely at your glass and you’ll see it’s brimful
Others don’t judge, we just do that all on our own
Old projections and beliefs, need to now be outgrown
Take time to view others through their eyes, not yours
Encourage them with love and a raucous applause
Know what you know, from deep in your knowing
There’s a magical connection in our coming and going
We are alive at this time to remember lessons learnt
Don’t be held back by the mindless can’t, shan’t or won’t
Your ego will fight to keep you locked in your head
But let go of control, sever the gridlock of dread
Have faith in your abilities, you are everything and more
Your potential is magnificent, now let yourself soar
Take a long look at your mind
Don’t be scared. Step up close
Look beyond age-old judgements
Have a rummage. Take a nose
If you’ve thought into a dead-end
Take a left and then a sharp right
Go under the bridge of discontentment
Keep the end goal in sight
As the thoughts try to beckon
Have you join in their chat
Be polite and rebuke them
Back away from where they’re sat
Let intuition freely guide you
From your heart and not your head
Wiggle your toes, then step forward
Be awake. Get out of bed
Know from deep in your knowing
The Universe wants you to succeed
Immerse yourself in the pleasure
You create everything you need
shiny pebbles
