Chrys Takashige responded to a letter in topic Write a poem (or letter) about a turning point in your life 5 months ago
Aloha Harper! Mahalo nui for taking the time to read my entries and sending me your thoughts and encouragement. I truly appreciate you! I am sorry for being so delinquent with replying to your massage. I’ve been going through a major lifestyle adjustment. You are so correct, perspective is everything, so it is important that I stay as grounded as can be. I will be hitting 25 years on the machine in a couple of months. I don’t feel as it has been that long, but I must continue to live each day to the fullest! I hope your new year started off in grand fashion. Enjoy making the most of each day and write on! Please take care…: )

Chrys Takashige responded to a letter in topic Write a poem about a dream (or goal) that came true 9 months, 3 weeks ago
Aloha Harper! Mahalo nui for your positive feedback, along with your kindness, compliments and encouragement. I truly appreciate you! You rendered me speechless as I read your statements because I just consider myself “regular”. And yes, the entire experience was all worth it. When I look back on that period of my life, I find myself a bit surprised I had accomplished my goals and exceeded my potential. Thank you for making my day!
Please take care…Chrys -

Chrys TakashigeDear Unsealed,
My name is Chrys Takashige and I am sending my poem for your January writing contest. Thank you for taking the time to consider my entry,
Take care…Chrys
My Ascension
The year to
rise and shine.
“So long” to what was.
“Hello” to what is.
Still thriving.
Thankful to be sustained
by technology and humans
two decades plus.
Time to live more freely.
No cerebral road blocks,
nor abandoning of self.
Marching forward
to where euphoric states await,
in the ocean, on the greens, up on the hills.
Returning to acts of love,
from hermit to butterfly,
out and about it shall be.
The dormant right brain
to be awakened
on paper, with rhythms and cuisine.
Moving and grooving
through each day.
Attaining yin-yang status
on the see-saw of life.
The freedom to choose
what is ideal
for the life deserved.
No more compromising.
Forget wasting energy.
Drop the ungrateful.
Evolve into a light-weight
ready to fly and soar
beyond measure.Voting is closed
