Life
*
Life cannot begin
Lest you live it!
Awaken your dreams
Get out of the pit!
*
Find value in you
Don’t seek it in me!
Look inward/outward
Set yourself free!
*
Awaken to sunlight
Though dawn be gray!
Expand your horizon
Give in to the day!
*
Create your mantra
To repeat on the go!
Steady your rhythm
Go with the flow!
*
Walk with sublimity
At a joyous gait!
Reach for the stars
Therein lies your fate!
*
At day’s end
Rejoice in your worth!
Finding love heralds
Your peace on Earth.

Author: Website: http://brchitwood.com - B R Chitwood - My Mission: Writing to Discover Me
I'm a young man in an old man's body, trying to catch up to myself, trying to find pieces of me I left back in a disconnected youth and the early years of manhood. I'm a stereotype of many in my generation who can play the 'blame game', yell 'foul', and 'let's start over'. But, we are what we are, the sum of all the scary kid-emotions we experienced, the gin mills and piano bars that became our sandboxes of pleasure - lotus eaters of the best (or, worst) kind, the love affairs that did not quite settle us down, the sad poetry and songs written in bars and motels along the way... A Dreamer! A Wanderlust! The world needs such fools as we to write our books, our poetry, our songs, to offset the madness that plagues the soul.
I've written fourteen books, over three hundred blog posts, in search of those pieces left somewhere in many parts of the globe. You can preview my books on the next page. There's even a Blog page...all my posts are not showing on this recently created blog page, but, if you want to read more, go to my official blog site and check out the archives: http://www.thefinalcurtain1
Writing for me is therapy for the soul.

I’ve got a ‘black belt’ but it does’nt fit my waist. Guess I’ll have to buy suspenders. All the best, buddy. ♥♥

I’m beginning to get the picture of you sitting outside a cave, sporting a beard that hangs to the ground. That’s me sitting at your feet, though, absorbing my lessons. Always spot on!
