~ Silently Thinking Out Loud ~

...when I started other chapters to the Word Whisperer Poetry blog, at the time I hoped Soul Journey would become the  most read and have evolved with me as a person...Admittedly neither has happened so I am going to reopen and try again... "Silently Thinking Out Loud" was a poem written last April of 2012 during a time I felt like I was getting back on track

"Silently Thinking Out-loud"

We are both

Blessed

and Burdened

by the empowering

responsibility of making our life choices

The path taken

is our journey’s evidence

fraught

with opportunities to reclaim 

our soul's influence of selecting options

We may choose our 

response

to what ever

obstacles

our pathway may incur

We may

resist

and loathe

the difficult moments 

in life

We will  find the valor

to evolve into 

the conscious moment's dimension 

free to be the moment

Blessed by the Burden

of truth...

Burdened by the doubters 

needing proof...

Compassionate understanding 

liberated by choosing presence 

Life here and now...
