• To the Sky

    You’re the leaf of a tree that’s tall beyond measure,
    a heart that yearns for the sky.
    Know then that a man who conquers his pleasures, 
    will encourage his dreams not to die.
     
    I know you can’t keep your head from the clouds,
    but at least keep your feet on the ground.
    Tune into the world and notice the sounds,
    for through your struggle will meaning be found.
     
    The song of your being is tied to your virtue,
    be wise with your dreams and keep up with your work due.
    Balance the self and no one can hurt you,
    achieve what you may ere the realm we return to.
     
    Physical prowess calms the mind,
    the spirit follows, a bodily rhyme.
    Focused energy of the divine,
    creates in you a glorious shine.
     
    There’s grace in being, a natural beauty, 
    practice the posture of might.
    Unlocking You is the primary duty,
    ever-growing toward Light.
     
    A student of life and the stories that guide us,
    what priceless wisdom our studies can buy us,
    compounding thoughts since Younger Dryas,
    authoring words that still define us.
     
    Connect to what’s real, what essence exists,
    experience love and true selflessness.
    Open yourself to seeing the gifts,
    of being a human, with consciousness.
     
    Have your days of peregrination,
    required of you – the human vocation,
    Man’s quest for harmonization,
    to live, to follow where melodies take him.

    • Tony, this was a beautiful piece. You answered the prompt, providing insight, wisdom, and inspiration with rhythmic prose. What I gathered from your poem is the need to tame our primal nature and the duties that come with our physical reality with our spiritual birthright to ascend to something greater. Well said and executed. Thank you for gifting your poetry to our community! <3 Juvi
