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
Expressing life's journeys in writing and poetry
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
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:)
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, 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
( Inspired by Brene Brown’s Ted Talk – The Power of Vulnerability.)
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
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.
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.
Trust in yourself , be true to what you know
In what is right for your life
On who you are and where to go
Listen within, trust and show that you know
In how far you can go and what it is you need to show
Open up your heart and world by listening from within
It’s from there where your life can really begin
It is there where the answers lie
Only there within
Looking outside your life will not lead you right
As others will only see you through their own eyes
Show to all what it is that you can really do
Do that which is really right and really true for you
Only then will you really know how to bring to life
That which is your true power from within your own life
~ M.L.Adams
