Poem and Poetry Video
Me and my friends… I see we’ve been through enough fire to fill our steps with faith in God, knowing we don’t have to be perfect at this, knowing that at times it looks a little odd.
Sometimes we deliver reminders to ourselves.
Me and my friends
I see we’ve been through enough fire
We rewriting stories full of intention and desire
This world is full of sketchy people
But if you look hard enough
Perhaps give a squint or two
If you pay attention to the inner
Perhaps
Even the little you
When you stomach a few minutes of the news a lot of scary shit is happening
But when you take a walk on a sunny day
Just before high temps hit
In the very indecisive weather
Of a North Carolina spring
And you catch
A nice
Gust
Of wind
On a deep inhale taking a moment
With absolutely nowhere to rush off to
No busy agenda
No deadline to meet
No expectation to meet
No woes to cast
No ex lover to ruminate about…
Tracking?
No validation seeking, cause:
Didn’t they see that post I made?
Why didn’t anyone like it?
How many views do I have on it?
Perspective:
This world is full of people.
A lot is happening.
The pace is fast.
Me and my friends,
I see we’ve been through enough fire to each blossom into a phoenix,
Rebirth of perspective.
We wear 2023 with tension
Disappointment and uncertainty.
We have been tired for years,
Some of us for decades,
Seeing the pursuit no longer include happiness.
We want life.
Do we want life?
May we stop passing down fear,
Whether it’s fear of success or a phobia of bees,
May we stop passing down negative responses to uncertainty.
Me and my friends… I see we’ve been through enough fire to fill our steps with faith in God, knowing we don’t have to be perfect at this, knowing that at times it looks a little odd.
Gotta stop passing down inconsistency and self doubt.
Me and my friends –
I think we figured it out.
Me and my friends
I see we’ve been through enough fire.
We going to enjoy the journey,
And you can come along and vibe too.
We tend to forget that happiness is first.
Happiness begins
In you.
