Poem of the week: Jonathan Swift is trying to write "Stella's Birthday March 13, 1719"

As I sit here, pen in hand, ready to embark on the creation of Stella’s Birthday poem, a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions swirl through my mind. I cannot help but feel a mixture of excitement and trepidation. How can I possibly capture Stella’s essence in words? How can I do justice to her beauty, wisdom, and grace? I contemplate the passage of time, the years gone by since I first laid eyes on…

Well…

Just bathe in my praises. Soak in them. Let them warm, rinse, clean… play in it, rest in it… submerge yourself at will, float on a whim, dip whichever and all the parts of you on a want. Praises will keep flowing from my lips. My well of expression will never run dry. It’s yours!

How do you write a poem ?

Where the fuck is the P? Oh, there it is, right where I left it.

Uninspired is the name and bad at typing is the game

What is my name?

What is my name?

The name is incorrect format and poor creativity

I crept into your bedroom while you were enjoying the thought of doing something you love

I demand your submission

I demand your submission!

The name is insecurity and I am stout and persistent

You’ve seen me before, you know me!

Except I am not your friend

I am the passive aggressive english teacher you had in grade ten with the cute smile and fast wit

The one who said you couldn’t write

Oh,,,,,

But my name is Mother Confidence

Let me hold you in my sweet embrace

I am self love and the feeling of keys on your fingers

Today is

Today is the day to write

To feel

Honest expression, go on feel it.

It feels good

It’s easy to lose yourself in the convenience of what you know. You will smoothly go through the process. It doesn’t necessarily mean you are in your flow though. The flow requires a bigger challenge—one that intrigues your brain to go one-step, then another. In time, you will see you have walked miles, which will happen only if you tip your toes out of the comfort zone.

Statement of Intent

You okay if I take some of that weight on my shoulders and I intent-fully commit myself to your honest expression - as a form of homage to self, respect, recognition, reverence, release, restructure, renew, reenergize, … and potentially so many other plusses that there can be no minus….? May I? Yes?

Statement of My Intentions:

I intend to not pressure but be an available reminder. I intend to not burden but to ease. I intend to not limit or define or expect. I intend to accompany, to balance, to provide presence and mutuality. I intend to do more by doing less. I intend to serve and not be served. I intend to stand in the gaps where i fit and be a reinforcing echo of your own intentions. I intend to be weightless but felt as support, safety, encouragement, reassurance. I intend to be complimentary and accepting of you as you are, however you are, wherever you are (in mind or spirit or emotion) at any given time.

The noises that penetrate my mind. Opinions of others, the worries they have. When I let them influence my energy, I lose. Their perception is theirs, theirs alone. Mine is different; it’s unique to my story. My acceptance is relative. My silver lining evolves, and it’s nothing like theirs.

So even-though it is torture, because my dream cannot be completed... i will do it anyway, because the dream is worth enough, worth the pain and burden of never being fulfilled... and those few moments - although incomplete - are so enriching and magical. If i am left to only feel partially and woefully, then so be it, because i cannot deny my desire to feel. I’ll be the sad story and tragic ending that troubled souls cure their moments of loneliness in, when they hear it or see it. I’ll be the warning of what to avoid and how lifeless and bleek things can really get. I’ll be the bottomless abyss, the void, the emptyness and hopeless and romantically make them my home... and the opaque that, by contrast, gives the heroic, redemptive, compassionate, enduring, triumphant, joyful, desirable, fulfilling, optimistic, happy-ending stories their array of emotional fragrance, their textures of enjoyability, their sweet palpability and enticement - their thrill, their signs of life and worth living.

I Wouldn’t Change a Thing

I wouldn’t change a thing. 

Regret is disappointment and responsibility combined in one jar. Disappointment is not getting what you wanted. You expected one thing and the reality took a different route. When that happens with a sense of choice, our own responsibility, we feel regret.

What if I did that instead of this? I should have done that…

I admit. I spent a lot of time regretting things that I did and didn’t do. I still do, but I wouldn’t change a thing.

At times, I was paralyzed. It seemed like there was no shed of light that can penetrate the shadow of a window that I had. But with time, I realized that this feeling was stemmed from the uncertainty of the future and the perceived powerlessness that I had.

Problems will coexist with my existence, and the only way to move ahead is by accepting this as a fact of life. Uncertainty is another reality. Powerlessness is not.

Everyday we choose which problems to attend to, and with that--lies our power. How can we choose? We have a thermometer for pain. There is pain that helps you grow and pain that drains your soul--that’s your silver-line.
