Promises
Always starting new adventures, then always letting them go,
My mind is roaming on endless loops, with years of stories left untold
Living in a headspace of unpacked baggage
And heaps of inspiration fermenting in the soil.
But what good is it all if it can’t flourish?
Never let this be forever,
Declutter your belongings, plant the seeds,
Tend to your thoughts and let their ideas grow
Exhale life onto the page
Share the worlds that exist within
Promises have to be honoured,
Allow your fingertips to guide your act,
The voice in your head may be the architect,
but it’ll also extinguish your flame.
Don’t let it win before you begin.
Resolve your adventures until they reach their end.
Never let this be forever,
Declutter your belongings, plant the seeds,
Tend to your thoughts and let their ideas grow
Exhale life onto the page
Share the worlds that exist within
The stories are bursting through at the seams,
Maybe it‘s time to let them out?
But the haven inside our heads is always full of doubt,
You hold the skeleton key to all the locks,
Set them free or else these broken promises become your Pandora’s Box.
If creativity doesn’t have an expiration date,
Why does it fade over idle time?
Never let this be forever,
Don’t cast aside these broken dreams,
Your imagination will weep,
Shedding teardrops lost in the ocean
Of every promise that could’ve been, but never got fulfilled.
Declutter your belongings, plant the seeds,
Tend to your thoughts and let their ideas grow
When the final word is written
And the sigh of relief is sung,
then you know that the deed is done
Send the stories out and let them soar high from your mind
While you sit back in your calm corner of the world.
But never settle, give yourself permission to leave,
Embark on another chapter,
See where the next journey begins.
Remember that a promise is a promise,
Each and every one should be kept.
Don’t stray from adventures again,
Because those cast into “Someday” are always forgotten,
Lost as stories left untold.
A piece about fulfilling the promises we make to ourselves.
