Wise Man Tale: Steps

We struggle because we have to,
we are dormant, resisting the awake.
Our eyes are closed,
and we fail not to still see.
We are more than what we can be,
that is what he whispers to me.

You are a presence on this land,
your every move affecting the life around you.
Your mind and body is a weapon,
so be careful and use it wisely.
Don't underestimate your worth,
you are worth more than all the money in the world since birth.
You are a being unlike any other on this planet we call earth.

He whispers..
Tread softly but strong enough to move the ground,
head held high with respect, love, and humility clothed around you.
Take only what you need from places,
our eyes make our mind and body greedy.
Learn to look past and look beyond,
establish the roots of where your from.
Here, listen to the music of life play its beats on the drum.

Your a moon-child, spread your wings and fly,
soar with the purpose of love and determination.
Go on now and grow up to be who you are.

Little People

There is nothing like the innocence of a child,
they are ignorant to the grown-up world.
Through their big, round eyes- the world is endless universes put in one place,
everything is alive and colorful.
Through their lenses they see life on mother earth.
They know, love, and respect the giants-
we are their knights who protect them from the monsters.
They know that everyday is an adventure,
climb a tree to escape into another world.
The pillows and sheets and chairs are the strongest of forts,
the most seclusive place on the planet.
Passwords open doors and keys unlock treasure.
They can be a king/queen, ninja, knight, a superman,
a spy, a dragon, a lion.
They see no evil, so they speak no evil, and hear no evil...
Smiles so big and bright,
it lights up the sky at night.
Children is honest and courageous,
overflowing with love and the imagination we've lost.

-Sincerely Fay,

Beast

Late nights bring out the hunger in a persons being.
It brings out the beast of love, passion, fear, and hunger.
The beast craves what he can and cannot attain.
It is simple the beast is your body soul.
The night unlocks the cage door and the beast is free to roam again...

_ Sincerely Fay

Effective Meanings

Selfishness stems from the unconscious thought,
do more for yourself and less for others.
However way you put it, we have selfish thoughts, feelings and actions.
Branches, trees, forms of wood get burned and chopped up for our own use,
Earth in its forms being destroyed..
Tell me that ain't selfishness,
tell me it ain't so.
Words strung, thoughts acted upon,
we are energy that fills up this empty space in this graceful place.
Watch your Words/Thoughts/Actions,
what you put out in the universe is what you get in return!

-Sincerely Fay

Quotes that have Inspired Me/ Wise Man Tale

There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
George Carlin

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.

Mahatma Gandhi

These are both quotes that today I randomly picked and so here is a short poem I written called Wise Man Tale.

A street walker, a bum- told me quotes are advice to the wise,

he said if you ever take the time I guarantee they will open your eyes.

I asked him did he need food or money, shelter or clothes,

he said sista-child I don't waste my time on material things, I have soul.

He was a thin man, with one gold teeth,

he smiled and said as long as I got my soul that's alright for me.

Word of the wise young child, take my advice I have enough to spare,

realize where you going before you get there.

There is only two types of success in this world,

one lead ya to God and the other puts you in the bad forever.

I've seen a world guided and bent on terror.

I blinked and then I woke up here,

the world now ain't nice young miss be careful.

I got another piece advise as well,

greed and seeking fame is a sure way to hell.

By this time I was done with the conversation- couldn't hear no more,

I left the poor man without any explanation of what he did to end up like that for.

A couple of weeks later I seen an article about a famous philanthropist who went bankrupt,

he ended up with that strange case of bad luck.

I realized it was the man on the corner of that very helpless place,

but yet he had the brightest smile on his face.

The article read-He sought glory and money and misused his fame,

he lost it all without no one to blame.

But when asked why,he said I'm just like any other guy, 

see there is more to success than the good and the benefits, 

the dark side of success always have its prejudices.

So I warn those who like me who took the easy ticket,

be careful and never take the easy way up...

nothing can come from it but inflicting your soul with a very deep cut.

-Sincerely Fay

 

To The Girl

To the girl who sat at her desk,
head buried in the books.
To the girl who sat on the rooftops,
to get away from the hell within 4 walls.
To the girl whose sole purpose was to,
make something of herself.
To the girl whose baby brothers,
look up to her to help them, take care of em'.
Now...
To the girl who looks in the mirror,
to the strong, proud, and beautiful.
To the young women raising families.
To the females not afraid to show their love to another.
So....
To the young girl in the future who hear or read this poem.
             Stand Strong!

-Sincerely Fay,

Rants of a Poet

To some life never seems to be enough,
just to know that your alive is not enough!
We strive for things to make us complete.
It is to those people that I say I am alike!
I am grateful and blessed to be alive,
but to live day by day is not me.
I have to strive for doing more;
helping more, writing more!
Can I say more,
do I have to spill out that I have had a very sad past!
One that is wrought with abuse and pain.
Do I need to render your senses suppressed by my anguish!
Now listen to me rant!
Life is everything I do, the choices I make,
the struggles designed for me and me alone.
The things I do for me, for those around me!

        -Sincerely Fay,
