Mixed emotions stir
But vision doesn’t blur
My feet
     Are rooted in truth
I know what to do

Quietude takes hold and serves gratitude
Drowns the noise
Floats all reasons to pursue greatness
                                 With a positive attitude
This time is personal

Solitude is a place where attention can mature
Attend to holistic understanding
So comprehension isn’t delusional
Frustration is an enemy for some
But for me
           It’s a door to push through
Visit parts of myself that need to go

Breath is a fresh start
                         With each inhale and exhale
I am renewed

An opportunity
                To live with the good and beautiful
Not because I do something
                    Because I stop doing the typical
Compelled by pain to lash out
Hurt others and myself

Beliefs transform
My words carry me
               Into a life that is fruitful
With proper care
I nourish a Being
                 Who is divine and humble
