Everyday Occasions
Have you ever just looked out and saw everything you couldn't formulate an explanation to
captured through the simple essence of nature
For instance take this cruise,
It is the very first muse for my unspoken words
As the majesty of the sea Treads through the ocean
Disrupting the flowing motion of the waves
Leaving its mark that can be seen miles behind the ship
until it seems to nip the edge of the sky from afar
Where the clouds move peacefully and the sun sets elegantly,
giving an unbelievable ambiance of peace
Signaling your brain to cease fire and relax
or how about the engulfing night sky that followed behind
Pierced by the moonlight radiating from the full moon
as it rose to join in revealing stars you can't see otherwise
Now think about the ascension of a plane as it takes off to a new distant destination
gradually gaining altitude until it surpasses the clouds and soars... Everyday occasions right
Simple everyday occasions sparking deep inspiration
as I sit here thinking about the reputation that I have and the one I have yet to create
Looking at how even after four years I have the same terrifying core fears
Terrifying me past the point of tears to the point that I just stare in space
Like a mental head case incarcerated by these four walls of fear
A floor of past rejection and a roof of doubt
And it's been about ...who knows how long, but I know it's been too long
To feel segregated from the community with which I live in
To feel like a failure just delaying what feels inevitable
To be an inner Trojan horse to my own mainframe of life
Too long to feel all these things that have no concrete justification
But some how through elusive persuasion found a way to my inner beliefs system
Where they laid dormant for years
Until I started thinking critically about moving forward And what exactly I was moving toward
That's when the virus became active and sent disruptive bursts of illogical impulses through my mind
Trying to strike me blind of my potential mosaic masterpiece of a life
Where the majesty is me leaving my mark in the ripples of time on my voyage into the sunset of success
boarded by the smiles and support of all those that care for me year after year
But in this time of mystery that I'm heading into
It's up to me to tear the night sky apart with the moonlight of clearance
Clearance Of myself pieced together from the fragments of light
released from stars at altitudes of wisdom I wish to rise to
And as I ascend to these new heights
I dream of the day I start to soar free of worry
Free of fear
Free of my self incarceration and clear of the clouds of confusion
Enabling the experience of a highly anticipated vision
