Rising To The Surface

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

Crying from the depths
Life can be suffocating
Epic struggles
Seem incapacitating

Tricky to handle
At times…
Through patience and will
Our thoughts they climb

Rising to the surface
Building strength
Arms in the air
Fists clenched

Courage the staple
Willing yourself through
Rewards are a plenty
All the while, you grew

Take from this
All you can learn
Reap the benefits
From all that you earn

Contemplative Will

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

Contemplative moves
Contemplating self
The players deny
Any offers of help

Locked in a battle
Of wits with a friend
Two players duel
And contemplate the end

Strategies imparted
Strategies rebuked
This day’s win
Will be no fluke

Eye contact minimal
Nothing is given away
Piece for piece traded
Nothing stands in their way

All eyes on the duo
Patience unbending
As each of them seeks
The perfect of endings

On this overcast day
In the middle of the park
These two will keep duelling
Till well after dark

When the match has concluded
Shake hands, yes they will
Until they next meet
To get their ‘Chess thrill!’

‘Morning Pages’

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

Morning Pages
Are a treat
A chance for you
To press ‘delete’

Stream of consciousness
Is the goal
Writing from within
The deepest of Souls

Clearing the mind
Is what it achieves
Wearing your Heart
On it’s sleeve

At the conclusion
Pen and paper retired
Your brain is now
So unwired

Free to create
Without the clutter
Creative thoughts now
You can utter

Into The Distance

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

Into the distance
Our mind forecasts

Better things
Than in times past

Working hard
Change the tune

Thinking smart
Toward that fortune

Restless Spirit
Needs reassuring

Imagination
Quite alluring

Focus required
Plans in place

Steady as she goes
Still in the race!
