Obstacles appear bold: masterpieces of your potential failure
They glimmer in mockery of your goals
(the opposite of that beautiful rock you
found in the creek & pocketed to
remember the trip by to
bring you back to
that moment of peace & relaxation that
even when it dried & was dull made you smile).
Obstacles are sharp, jagged
large, round, or square
or shapeless
but their intensity dulls once you're past them:
what was glaring at you is just staring in
awe that you dared make it past-- & they're
staring with dull eyes.
Or...
if you choose...
Obstacles aren't mean & scary at all:
they're the rocks you'll pocket to
remember a moment by.
THANK YOU. We need to remember that obstacles bring about the changes that make us awesome. You put it so well.
