The Vibrant Life Poem

Estimated Reading Time <1 Minutes

Oh my twisted heart,

I wait wistfully, patiently, uncertainly

For thy doubts to unravel.

Smooth the crinkled corners of your secret places;

Stretch the forgotten strength of youth.

Find again the confidence and faith born

Greatly and simply from truth.

Oh my frenzied mind,

Let go calmly, deliberately, thoughtfully

Of cares beyond thy sphere. 

Center the immediate moment;

Relish in the color and taste of today. 

What went before and what comes after

Reflect mere shadows in the haze. 

Greatness is cousin to growth,

gained by doing, seeking, exercising 

The promise buried within. 

Crack the brittle shell that binds

Let the green and tender shoots rise up

Live the vibrant life.
