Believing

can you see the strength inside of you
you are the rock imbedded in the sandy soil not
swaying with self doubt whilst water washes over you

you are the sturdy tree in the forest
tall and solid that holds the canopy aloft
standing fast, nothing bending your resolve

but how shall I convince you; what words will
penetrate the rock that is you; for you are
stubborn as the water that tries to break it down

it's about belief - in yourself
it's about trust - in yourself
it's about optimism

breathe a little

do not preempt with sleepless nights
or days cast in shadows
what has not yet befallen you
seeing will be when it arrives
and not a moment sooner

never a moment sooner

I spew forth words that come into my head

I spew forth words

that come into my head

incongruous to inner thoughts

words that I struggle with

or capable of

displaying

shallow perhaps

unlike

an abyss

babbling kindred

to a brook

not expressing

that become holes in 

my narrative

I spew forth words that

come into my head

wanting 

to bear richer fruit

grafted vine upon the vine

shades

cast by trees in the sun

tone

for inspiration an opus

interest

to paint a picture

impression

footprints in the sand

I spew forth

words the come into my head

but I am learning

unremitting

like fine

raindrops that fall from the sky

before the storm

in my quest

for the compelling
