Stronger

strong tree

When times get tough, 

Know that your stronger than this

There is nothing that is stronger;

Just believe

The strength and spirit that lies within you,

There is nothing that is stronger than this

You will overcome it,

You will learn from it,

You will grow from it

Then the strength that lies within you;

Will be open for all to see

You are stronger than you think you are; 

Know it and all will see

You are stronger than you think you are;

You are like the strongest of trees

Taller and stronger than anything;

With roots you cant easily see

This problem that is before you, 

Is then nothing but a breeze

Believe in your truth and courage,

Believe you are stronger than this

Shine like the star you truly are;

Don’t be defeated by anything

~ M.L.Adams

The Game

What is this game

where we have to lie and cheat,

To compete and defeat

Fighting hard to succeed

Life is for living amongst one another

Not against each other

To live in harmony with each other

Not to fight one another

Not to play this game who is better than who

Who can win or who can lose

But to live together in this world;

In harmony with each other

To bring peace to the world

It starts with each one of us

There is no need for this way

Let’s put a stop to it now;

Let’s put an end to this game

To the anger and to the shame

To find real peace and love again

To live in love and wonder; that is real gain

~ M.L.Adams

Keep Going

mountain climb

Sometimes it feels like;

You’re at the bottom of the mountain

But you’re actually half way up

Keep on going and you’ll get to the top

~M.L.Adams

A motivational verse for Monday, have a great day.

Always keep going and never give up. Miranda.x

Dynamic Force

Energy coursing,
Racing and flowing
Always changing;
Always unknowing

Vigorously,forcefully
Pushing  and throwing
Nothing that stopped it,
It just kept on going

This forceful energy
Dynamic and growing
Got stronger and stronger
Til  it reached a mighty blowing

Smashing like thunder
Like nothing of any knowning
All dissipated now theres
Nothing more to be showing

Dynamic force
So driving with pain
There was nothing
That  you ever could gain

I am thankful for
Your now gone pain
As I have found a way
To rise up once again

~ M.L.Adams

Begin Again

Begin again

You can’t unlearn what is learnt

Or undo what is done,

Every path is a lesson

To what you can become,

Find the power in every path

Then begin again once more,

To be far stronger and better

Than you ever were before

~ M.L.Adams

For anyone going through a tough time in any way, be strong as you know you are:)

Open Journey

open journey

I am open now, my heart is once more;

I can feel again, like I used to before

The fear and pain had closed me, this time it was no more;

This time was different, a journey of sorts

My feelings were just flowing like never before;

Now I am open again, this time much more

I will not close off again for I choose to have love,

Now I know what to do when things get really tough

I have to keep on fighting, To keep the feeling flowing

Whilst continuing on the path, to where I was going,

This is the journey, the jouney of love & life

The natural ups & downs, the transformations we must seek,

For this is where the heart is; not in closing off & feeling weak

The journey can be hard sometimes, sometimes harder than we know,

We want to run away and hide from all that hurts our soul

But this is far more painful, for then you do not know,

What you are missing out on when you journey with the flow.

~ M.L.Adams

This is one of the first poems I wrote, when I first started writing at the beginning of this year; literally on New Years Day( It wasn’t planned that way of course, so quiet odd:). Anyhow It took a lot of pain for me to go through to get to this place and I was left with this gift of being able to allow my thoughts to  flow in writing, of which I’m immensely grateful for.

I’m thankful also for any readers too, sharing is a blessing as it adds more purpose to writing and I also hope I can inspire some of you too. Writing is a beautiful way of letting go and sharing and I feel blessed to have learnt that this year.

Thank you for reading,

Miranda

Awake

sunrise

Awake, Awake, sweet souls awake

Awake from that sleep where you hide

The time is now to see your truth

The time is now to wake up from inside

Life is a journey for all souls to take

You don’t need to hide, you can handle this

Ride your sweet journey open and awake

Awake sweet souls; awake for good

Show who you really are, be all you can

Don’t hide from what hurts or you lose what is good

You’ve nothing to hide,  only to bring your beauty to this land

~ M.L.Adams

The Beautiful Place

beautifu place

The place where love is born

Deep inside where nothings worn

All open fresh and new

Like new spring blossom dew

Such beauty deep within

Brings pimples to your skin

All fresh and new and bright

Like morning sunlight

Hold on each day and night

To such beauty in your life

Each day can be this way

Such a beautiful loving place

~ M. L.Adams

Flight

flight

When you feel that you are in flow you just know that you are right, you feel that you are completely free and that you are in flight.

Lifting high above anything in to the free night , like nothing can hurt you or hold you down tight.

When you feel you are in flight you know that you can fight, that nothing or no one can hurt you not with all there might.

You are in a state of wonder that’s high in to the light, so free like a firefly that is shining so so bright.

~ M.L.Adams

This is a poem I wrote about the state of being flow, I called it flight because of the freeing feeling of being in this state. Just like that of flying (the parachute jump is something I’m planning on doing very soon so I can experience flight for real 🙂

Finding our flow however it may be, such as through poetry or sports, is something I believe we should practice everyday. It is the art of expressing oneself completely, freely and of being in our zone.

The Man Who Thinks He Can – Walter D Wintle

Thoughts

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t
If you’d like to win, but think you can’t,
It’s almost certain you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will,
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you’re outcast, you are;
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

~ Walter D Wintle

Such a beautiful poem with truth in every word, a gift to all of us from Walter D Wintle.
