Stand your ground

Speak your mind

Especially when

Facing different views

It’s the only way to learn

The only way to evolve

Embrace the argument

Thrive in the conversation

It’s too easy just yelling

Too easy not listening

You might miss something

You never thought about

When the free word suffer

The ceiling crashes down

You don’t have to agree

You just need to listen

And stand your own ground

When you’re convinced

But never fail to think twice

When hearing a valid point

You may think you’d won the fight

But even a fool is sometimes right

One foot in the moment

And one in the past

One hand serves a master

And the other is free at last

One leg moving forward

The other standing still

Some thoughts stand firm

And others bow to your will

One step to the right

A few to the left

You try to walk the path

That seems to you the best

One eye on the road

Another on the price

You try not to stumble

And find your way to paradise

All it takes is your will

In a quest to redefine

To move your body

Across the borderline

These morning hours

Searching for power

To fulfill your dreams

Make up new schemes

And isn’t it so strange

How feelings rearrange

From one day to the next

Leaves you perplexed

And time passes so fast

When you need it relaxed

You can’t keep up with it

So you simply submit

An hour becomes a day

And you just stray away

Into a place of solace

Keeping out the silence

That’s your antagonist

And it always persists

This feels like the true enemy

But following doubt is clarity

The quietness is not wicked

It’s yourself that’s omitted

From thinking clearly

You’re not treated unfairly

And you realize at last

You’re afraid of the past

Of the ghosts in your mind

You thought you left behind

And you silence the silence

Disturb the fragile balance

With sound and vision

This lie of omission

So face yourself again

All of yesterday’s pain

It’s the only honest way to go

You need to wear your shadow

It’s time to act

End the neglect

Work for the purpose

Find the spark

Light the fire

Out for too long

Fire up the engine

Maximum attention

To detail

And quality

It sure is time

For study

Questioning

Debate

And evolution

Time to create

Something magical

Never before seen

In anyone’s dreams

Turn insignificance

Into the past

And sculpt a statue

Of ideas and drive

Wind and fire

And it will be

A creation set free

Never finished or done

Compared to none

Transcending these words

And all that came before

A phenomenon

A force of nature

It’s all or nothing

No more rushing

Yes, it’s time

To begin the creation

Let loose the imagination
