Why do you look down when you walk?

by Soulful Storytellers, LLC, posted in Poetry

Why do you look down when you walk?

Are you marking your steps?

Watching the cracks in the sidewalk?

Why do you look down when you walk?

Trying to dodge that pile of shit or avoiding where you saw that man spit?

Why do you look down when you walk?

Do you really think you can see your way

With your head held down day after day

Take a chance, a peep, a glance

I take my right index figure and lift your chin

Now you will see life begin

Do not cast your eyes down low

Look upwards to see the blue sky glow

Do not hold your head down when you walk

For you have no reason to feel shame

Exude the confidence within

Replace that solemn mouth with a slight grin

What was called yesterday has gone

Today will soon end

Tomorrow is your pathway to win!!

Look down no more for the world is not as flat or dirty as the floor

Opening…

by Soulful Storytellers, LLC, posted in Eclectic thoughts

Are our thoughts truly new and profound? Or is it just the slight twist in the delivery that gets people thinking. Words awakening the spirit and stimulating a new thought or better yet activating an existing one you have chosen to ignore.

We may share the same story, but how we tell it differs on it’s impact. We are all unique by design, yet we share the same pain, concerns, needs and wants… or do we? See how easily we create confusion within ourselves, changing a punctuation changes our lives forever.

We hide behind our fears and scares. Hesitating to open ourselves, stiffling emotions and growth. When a flower refuses to bloom it’s beauty is trapped inside, wilts and fades. It’s lost and wasted. For the others that dare to open, it’s beauty is embraced, enjoyed and when it wilts and fades we have attached memorable moments to it’s existence.

It’s time to OPEN ourselves, reach within the depths of our beings so that we can know who we truly are. Share this transition with someone you love and trust. We were not designed to stand or do it alone. A world was OPENed for us, OPEN your world with someone.

“Creation begins with the OPENING of a seed which allows itself to be fertilized.”
