I Thought I Could

At this moment I’m right where I’d wanted to be
Since forever and I’ll just keep chugging along
Through a blissful eternity. I’m flying high.
On top of the world I am I cannot deny
And at this point I’m forever singing the song
Of excitement as I live my life happily.

At first it seemed impossible for me to do
But I knew deep inside that I could overcome
Any negative feelings I had about it.
I went with my gut and decided not to quit.
Deep within is where my inspiration comes from.
I rely on it to make my wishes come true.

The only thought that I’ll ever have to practice
Is that if I want it I can have it and I
Can be satisfied in just the wanting of it.
My not having it won’t cause me to throw a fit.
I can be happy without my having to try.
Any thoughts of not having it I can dismiss.

I like knowing that I want it because I know
That what I want is coming therefore I can take
Pleasure in the fact that it will most certainly
Come to be. This alone is delightful to me.
Fortunately by now I’ve come fully awake
To abundance and positive energy flow.

Don’t Give Up!

Jan1

To give up is to fall by the wayside and die.
I’m not willing to do that right now or ever.
Even though there are many things I have done wrong
My commitment to making amends is still strong
But the thing is I must do it now or never
Unless my mental illness will not let me try.

I can’t run out of content. There always will be
Something for me to write about. I’m okay there.
Can I do it in my best conceivable way?
Is there some deep emotional price I must pay?
Seriously, the people I’ve harmed wouldn’t care
Much at all about anything concerning me.

I can give up the struggle, pity, and self-shame
Long enough in each moment to become aware
Of my spirit eternal wherein I find peace.
All my negative karma I’d love to release
In an instant but that in no way would be fair.
Is there not enough love in my heart to proclaim?

I can’t give up the chance to be motivated
Into being. From there I can reach anywhere
That I choose. I can’t give up the life that I’ve made
For myself. I no longer have to be afraid
To express my true feelings and give utmost care
To make it another work of art created.

Move From Doubt Into Trust

Nov16

I’ve been meditating quite a lot and I’ve been
Getting specific signs about things I desire
But I find myself not trusting what I receive.
My own habits of thought cause me to disbelieve
In impulses. Is it possible to acquire
The trust that I once had and want to have again?

I’ve been told to keep going then after a while
Disbelief will be rid of. It will not return.
Faith and trust in the process is indicated.
With my doubt I must not be infatuated.
How I feel right now should be my only concern.
Perhaps this will put some clarity in my style.

What I want to occur doesn’t need to occur
For me to be satisfied. Manifestation
Is the result of being receptive to the
Source of infinite world creating energy.
Although it hasn’t happened my fine creation
Is authentic which is as I would most prefer.

When I get an impulse or when I see a sign
That I’m lined up with what I want and it feels good
Then I cannot mistrust it. My satisfaction
Is the prime indicator of what I have done
To remain in alignment. It’s well understood
That everything in my life will work out just fine.

About Gratitude

Jul30

Accustomed to the pavement and looks of disdain
From each passerby, one must compartmentalize
Feelings of desperation, shame, and hopelessness
From the art of the sale, as the face must express
Sincere need. One must hope people will sympathize
With their circumstance. This is what drives one insane.

Homelessness of the body, like that of the soul
That has lost its connection to reality,
Is a problem that people encounter each day.
People wish that the issue would just go away
But it won’t. It’s a part of our society
That in some basic ways is way out of control.

At some nook on the freeway the human billboard
Holds the message that cannot be well understood.
We don’t want to be interrupted from our own
Many issues. We won’t throw the poor dog a bone.
Trying to stuff the guilt doesn’t do any good
Because we’re not as practiced at being ignored.

Yet there are success stories. There are people who
Have reached out in a big way. Anyone can be
Faced with hard times. People who deal with homelessness
Work for others’ compassion. They are nonetheless
Worthy of being happy. Those who don’t agree
Have some gratitude issues they should attend to.

Gratitude

May23

Sometimes in life we pass over the simple things
That surround us that are wonderful to behold.
We shift our focus to the things that chip away
At our spirits, yet we can be thankful each day
For the little things. Don’t let your life be controlled
By the world and its most chaotic happenings.

Once a woman was walking down a busy street
When she spotted a beggar with an empty bowl
And a cardboard sign that read, ‘Blind Please Help,’ so she
Took the sign, turned it over, and wrote caringly.
What she wrote must have come directly from her soul.
Having put change in the bowl her task was complete.

Pretty soon the old beggar heard lots of change fall
Into his bowl. He’d wondered what the woman wrote
On his sign. He asked someone to read it to him.
The delighted passerby was filled to the brim
With compassion and read the beggar’s humble note.
What was written there indeed was not something small.

‘Today is a beautiful day, and I am so
Happy you have the privilege to be able
To see it,’ wrote the woman. Your gratitude brings
True fulfillment and many wonderful blessings.
Gratitude need not always be demonstrable
To others. It’s one way that the spirit can grow.
