Commit to yourself

Commit to yourself
Committing–standing up to the task without a known outcome.

But why is it so intimidating 

Waiting for a strike of good thought. 
Voices say, why to try so hard for the bearers, be unknown.

For you are each judge to one’s court. 

So help them shine. 
Committing may not lift from here if teams divide. 

So please, grab a hand in light, to rejoice with them. 

Green flowers will bloom with determination. 
Want to live, not only in your soul is there human. 

We are all meant to rest, but for good reason; for drive. 

Rest your eyes to naturous birds, we will greet her eventually.
Committing means now–test those boundaries, or put cold air up.

There is always gold, that’s why we commit. Even if not lucky.

The passion was still housed within your crown. 
Each trial is sacred.

  • Winters death

    She starts to lay her head to fire. I see has her voice dies, and her fingers start to thaw. Her yawn irks the birds sending them to rainbow spirals, directing them to the skies choir.
