Don’t be chary to step forward
Why are we cowering
When we don’t have to be
Hiding in the shadows
People can feel your spirit
When it’s dimming
Just as they can feel it
When it’s shining
Around you
If you never had the desire
To be something amazing
Burning inside of you
It may have been easier
To accept a mediocre light
But if you’re burning
Deep and bright inside
And you can feel the flames
Licking at your insides
For whatever is the next
Astronomical moment
In your lifetime
Then the tears are real
And the journey is strong
And may be long gone
Before you have the chance
To look back and know
What you did
See what you’ve done
Past the doldrums
Of doing everything perfect
Making everything right
In your slice of paradise
Room for error room for dust
Room for make up sex
And arguments
But mostly space for
Newness and second chapters
Letting go of past relationships that
Have run their course and
Making room for new ones
Along the way
Others in time
Come what may
Vibrations and drums
Keep moving
Don’t stop don’t give up
Find the next story in your life
Open the book turn the page
That will give you everything
You know that you’ve got
To experience
Give it several shots
Why are we cowering
When we don’t have to be
Hiding in the shadows
Beleaguered by our thoughts
Stand up strong staff in hand
Conduct the weather
Future endeavor
Hurricanes of persistence
Find your strength
And tap in
Passionate footsteps
Stronger together
Everywhere eyes wide open
Heart pouring out
Life is too short
Don’t do without
