Soar (an acrostic poem) Sometimes you need to fall to find your way to climb Or as a great philosopher once said All flying really is is throwing yourself at the ground and missing Ready to give it a try?

Sky splits open
Thunder cracks bone
Over roofs winds slam
Rain needles skin
Metal roofs scream

Serrated clouds cast
Together, knifing the land
Oratory pain of lightning
Rain and thunder
Malice imbued

Acrostic—Undecided Uncertainty is no enemy, Nor is delay a fault, Discern what is yours to choose, Else let the rest fall away. Character, not outcome, matters. In stillness, judgment clears. Do what reason permits, Even if certainty never comes. Decide, then walk calmly.

#Emoetry prompt for 4/6 is #undecided

To be undecided is not weakness, unless you remain there after reason has spoken.
The Stoic does not wait for certainty—only for sufficient clarity to act with integrity.

Better to be a man of leisure,
Always relaxing in a bath,
There’s so much turmoil in this world,
Horrors that drag us below the water’s edge.

Abstract canvas (by my friend Tania Corvalan) of a vibrant dreamscape lingering behind a figurine in a yogi tree position. Mixed media layered with a red glowing forest scape & a large external rooted tree in center position.. almost mimicking the same posture line of the figurine.

Same abstract painting in a different layered theme. Deep red/black silhouette branches creeping into the painting. Seated in a deep to light mustard orange varying background and bordered to the left with a rusty red hue. These two pieces, similar but different propose an idea that internal experiences .. although brought to by repetition, will always gain a different perspective..
