Disguise and Creation (Poem)

Your eyes are glimmering astray, 

Your smile is faintly portrayed.

Perhaps you don’t realize,

The glim in your eye,

Because you’re so preoccupied, 

On your illusionary world inside.

Whenever you enter into the world,

You play aloof and you act like a troop.

You never deal with the hidden,

Mistaken belief and truth.

Past is dead and gone,

No need to recollect all the wrongs.

Everyone has a history, 

No need to recollect all the falls.

Identity is of your choosing, 

Not from another who doesn’t know you.

Perception can always change,

When you look up and acknowledge today.

Allow the world to change you,

But don’t allow it to break you.

Get out of your head and relate to,

Contrast and appeal.

The paintbrush is in your hand,

To paint colourfully on the mountain,

And to catapult you to daylight.

Contrasting experience and appearance,  

Humanity stirs within you a dream,

And molds within you your leap.

Outside your comfort and frailty,

Where reality constantly changes,

In a world of contrast and breakthrough, 

Of unfulfilled dreams and awakening.

Let the stream guide your awakening,

Flow downstream, and not upstream. 

 Don’t allow the past to break you,

Too much weight in your carry-on, 

Results in unsteadiness and wavering.

Live in the present, not resentment.

Create your calling and respect.

Power within always resides,

In the God up above, by your side.
