Day 19: Setbacks

I know there are mistakes that must be made,

If a man must claim mastery of his game.

That’s why some things will never be the same;

Even if hell freezes over things change.

I’ll pick up the pieces and lay ‘em straight,

Fix each to its own piece, the road is strait.

Time I made my break away from this strain;

Gatto crack this zone things are turning strange.

I know there are stories I must rewrite

If faded glories could dare reignite.

I’ll stay on my grind and try for contrite.

I know what I’ll find may be wrong or right.

I’ll piece together the little setbacks

And hustle harder till I’m back on track.

This is my path home even tho it’s dark,

I’ll reset the tone and renew the spark.

Day 19: Oddball

streetartutopia.com

Rules are broken

To create an access into fresh token.

As curiosity conveys us across the threshold, we see

The law of creativity

Is without constraints.

And the workspace of ingenuity

Is a whole yard of opportunity and space.

When the individual violates a code of conduct,

And by that simple act experiences release,

We discover the significance of being the oddball

In the instruction’s insufficiency.

Thus, is life itself a reinventing of a process

Which conceals its expression in subtle evasiveness.

Eventually, things by all accounts, adverse

Contribute their part to recreate our universe,

By consistently etching prints of originality,

Like a picture painted with oil on canvas,

On an individual’s bold divergent thinking.

Day 19: Mission Achieved

Photo: 123rf.com

I come to conclusions

Before the page is printed,

My mind going through the motions

As noesis commoves me to react like I’m haunted.

But could I possibly blind my reasoning

To the portal promising unmeasured opportunities;

How could I have soared so hastily

And almost failed to perceive eternal things?

I wanna know

When my mission is achieved;

I wanna make my mission explode.

Into a million several seeds.

I wanna realize

When my goal is actualized;

I don’t wanna maintain

Only to recognize I struggled in vain.

To accomplish what it is I search for

Then proceed blindly like I’m lost.

When I am arrived,

I wanna duly visualize

When I drink from the vase of fulfillment,

And spot the crest of attainment.

I strive to perceive through this commotion

The essence of my individual mission.
