Put In the Work


Takes a lot of frameworks.

Never want to play lazy.

Importance of not being a jerk.

Time can be the guide towards racy.

Diddly happens in slack.

Efforts in earnest delivers payoffs.

Don’t give in to erratic order.

Nose to the grind behooves,

Advancement.

Pay Your Respects


During our days enjoying life we meet some

Wonderful people and are blessed with parents,

Grandparents, siblings, cousins all down the line.

It’s great we enjoy and acknowledge how we

Feel about them when they are alive,

There’s a hurt when they’re gone.

Their final resting place is, a sacred crypt where they stay

For eternity.

It’s our opportunity to visit, pray for their soul and show respect

As often as possible.

It can be a way of cherishing, remembering days together in life

And reconnect on a spiritual level.

The visits can also be a positive cleansing experience to make amends with the past.

Appreciate loved ones in life and never forget them in passing.

Shake It Off

 

There’s no being soft.

Circumstances materialize suddenly.

Which creates disturbances, feeling tossed.

Personal setbacks of emotional severity.

Seeking help to guide through loss of support.

From loved one gone into peculiarity.

Someone whom you trusted and cavorted with,

All around, showing a side of unfamiliarity

Less concern, distant conversations cold heartedness.

Cryptic intentions of perplexity.

Stay still and guarded.

Direction will appear, either returning or…

Transforming.

No Restraint

 

No Restraint

Careful, there’s a lot you might taint.

Having ease of mind knowing the makeup of

Oneself will administer good will.

Dealing with the opposite will cause heartache,

Pain and disillusionment with the circle that surrounds a life.

No filter rubs the wrong way but usually comes with sincerity.

No restraint can deliver reckless decisions in the workplace,

In society and with family.

There is no one person, one point of view of the world

That holds complete merit.

An old proverb that states; “There is a time and place for everything.”

 Stands tall whether within an individual or as a group

Running Water

 

One of the most splendid calming sounds within our choosing

is the eloquence of running water.

Rolling over rocks and sediment it invites us

to leave our grounds.

Just like the sands of time, running water

will take over our minds

 thoughts of our current and past hikes through life.

The natural innocence and soothing flow

 reminding us of our journey

shaking the reality of life.

With its beauty and unrelenting flow,

Can lead us too wonderful evocative

Wanderings.

Plant The Seeds

 

Plant some seeds watch them grow.

Often times it seems so slow...

They say patience is a virtue.

That adage can be hard to see through.

But, when the time has come to see,

The growth was really a jewel.

Surprise, the beauty blossoming from the ground,

Is also nurturing from within as well.

By The Way

By The Way

It’s more than I can say.

What’s being said is making

Me stay.

Can’t put it off another day.

The word being spread out there

Is more than just chatter.

This must be corrected to,

Much connected.

These days the truth can be muddled.

No sense in being befuddled.

It only takes one to take a stand.

Taking it to the source to hear it…

Firsthand.

Under The Shade

Under The Shade

Letting no one in to invade.

Out in the Sun has its generosity.

Being under cover permits no need to evade.

Enjoying these moments of oneness

Deems to promote autonomy.

Discussions held within of honest nature

True to oneself, inward examination.

Void of external interference develops,

A revised forthright presence.

Come What May


Anticipating the ability to portray…

Not a given to be a hooray.

What delivers itself will convey,

What the play will say.

Going the course may have

It’s sway.

All in part to complete,

The day.

I'd Rather Not


You’re putting me on the spot.

Sudden requests surprise instantly.

Is there not room for discussion?

Pushing influence unevenly is there

No other?

Free will and thoughts remain essential.

Politics, faith, personal choices a given

Right…

Examine the other side when insisting

Singular form.

Didn't Even Notice

Your hair is so flowing

Eyes are so intent on life.

Your face is not a mask.

Everything that is you, divulged.

Body so in sync naturally fits

Personality.

Completely so immersed with sight,

Illogically passed on the enchantment

So vividly stirring within.

It Takes Some Heart

 It Takes Some Heart

Human grace shouldn’t be that far apart.

People as one need each other.

Disaster need not strike for all

To unite.

Living in a world where daylight

Turns into fright night.

All relatable quandary’s,

Social media, distrust, bias

Towards non-citizens, neighbors

Raising arms over political agenda.

Everyday people raise voices to

Create platforms to create change.

Many more populous versus

Political machines.

Look inside observing the

Sameness we all share.

Putting differences aside,

We breathe the same air.

Would it be a dare to unite

And not…beware.

Surely for You


Never let you be lonely.

For all that you give

The return will be wholly.

Fully inspired from the heart.

With all good intentions, sustain us.

Always giving never ready to depart.

Holiday hosting’s a sterling endowment.

Presents to all family parts

From small to tall.

Not one without careful contemplation.

And you, never expecting grand reciprocation,

Is given much love and respect in entirety.

Surely for you each day until the end

Will be washed with a guarantee of,

Tender loving care.

hope you enjoyed the reading, M.Steven


Take Notice


Always wise to be present.

Being absent minded is no

Way to represent.

Living idly means missing the show.

Wonderful gifts of nature

Trees, Sun, Rain or Snow.

Seeing and feeling is the way to go.

Emotions set free enabling,

One’s heart to overflow.

Giving and sharing makes the journey

Bountiful.

Giving time and attention being a

Good listener in times of strife.

Unless one is open minded and aware,

The gift’s surrounding us goes to the

Blind.

Lift the head up, gathering all encompassing

The only way to absorb life’s…

Portrait.

Worth The Wait

It can never be late.

Whether it be the first: encounter

Whether it be the first: date

Whether it be the first: kiss

Whether it be the first: paycheck

Whether it be the first: car

Whether it be the first: apartment

Whether it be the first: house

Whether it be the first: love

Whether it be the first: child

Whether it be the first: grandchild

The range of time never deny.

The worth of the wait was destined,

To be aligned.

Stark Differences

 

  Stark Differences

The contrast is illuminating,

Why polar opposites attract?

May be natural allurement

Towards character, loyalty or attitude in life.

Family values, or simply two souls

Meeting in the middle of distinctiveness.

Then defying the obvious, brushing aside cynicism

Proving everyone mistaken about…

Innate attraction.

Answer The Call

  Answer The Call

It just might save the fall.

Changes needed at work, home

Personally, at stake.

Decisions on choices, associations and morality,

Have gone astray.

Daily existence one big dress rehearsal.

Delivering continuous hapless performances

Going nowhere.

Abruptly, the call comes through.

A life of its own guiding you towards

The rediscovery of oneself.

Whether connection came from a loved one,

A situation or from within…

The slumber is over

Switchboard light is on.

It Just Is

 

It Just Is

Many situations have a life of their own.

Reasoning aside, nothing applies.

Common sense directs certain conclusions.

Reality has its own resolutions…

Why do some people die so young?

Is it a coincidence that twins feel each other’s Pain?

Dogs sense the arrival of a family member.

After numerous studies, scientific analyses,

Many observations…hands up in the air

Must declare,

It Just Is.

A New Friend


It’s always exciting to accept a new companion.

Seemingly out of the blue, what to do?

Allowing in with considerable cognition

Is the first step towards a friendship breakthrough.

Possibly adding years of congenial tradition.

A plus is a plus in anyone's point of view.

Give a well-wishing big hug for the new addition.

I Do What I Can


Always try to avoid a scam.

When place is determined structure in command.

Daily routines have their time and place.

Very easy to skip out and expand.

Retirement has its embrace.

The choices can be truly grand.

Living life on your terms completely with grace.

Rat race left behind, movements totally in hand.

Resting, shopping, writing, reading all within the space.

Life now is how you shape it-

 I do what I can…

A Seat At The Table

 

  A Seat at the Table

If you’re able, take a seat at the table.

Not everyone is so well taken.

Readiness to be willing and able is

Always being gracious to partake in.

 

If by chance no appeal

Must accept the abrupt chagrin.

Awkard moments have no zeal

Feelings can be hard to conceal.

One Side or the Other

There comes a time to choose

One side or the other.

Often an easy choice, sometimes not.

Depending on the footing…

Walking a tightrope.

At work it’s a matter of politics

Career survival may be at stake.

Don’t be a fake, be wise.

Privately, friends or family

Loyalty and justness direct traffic.

Either side of the coin can be tenuous.

Meandering not allowed the landing

Is a statement being read out loud.

Silence Hurts

 

Silence Hurts

Sound is a friend.

Silence in many cases is not.

Personal, family dynamics

Dialogue is encouraged.

Circumstances dictate the

Importance of sound or silence.

Holding your tongue in a heated

Moment, hush has its place.

When reaching out to a loved one

And the return answer is

Silence...

Weighs heavy on the heart.

Something I Said?

 Something I Said?

Keeps rolling around in my head.

Can’t take it back, it’s no act.

Being impulsive, the words were misread.

Showing some good nature decided to retract.

Needing some clarity offering revision instead.

Didn’t mean to cross the line

Just being friendly, I’m a dunderhead.

Merely chatting what time is off, now I’m a victim 

of the gossipy…

Grapevine.

Just Getting Started

 

There’s always the first step.

No getting past it.

Can’t skip it, hoping no

Reset.

Totally unavoidable many

Contrasting scenarios.

Walking for the first time

Speaking first words, first

Day at school, job, car,

Romantic date, exciting

Vacation.

Making most of all

The firstly, events sets

The ball rolling in understanding;

Impressions, time, commitments

Even the importance of

Getting it right in the

First place.

The First Kiss

 

  The First Kiss

 

The first kiss is such bliss

 

It is such a moving moment

 

All one can say...it was breathtaking.

Always, and will be newly sensed

 

By virtue of a reminiscent calling

 

Deep within the heart.

A Need To Get Away


Chase the need to stay. 

Ho-hum, can make one end up  

In sickbay. 

Routines of work, groceries, clock watching begs of 

Respite. 

Won’t take much to envision the  

Sun’s infusion on the spirit. 

Warm weather, blue-green ocean waters 

Giving waves gladly dousing the senses. 

Daydreaming of being catered around the clock, 

Never out of stock. 

When the need turns into necessity 

Deal with the process take the first step of  

Your self-inclined mandate.
