Heart of Stone

He built his dreams with fire and steel,   Through sweat and pain, through grit and will.   His path was carved with silent nights,   A war he waged beyond the sights.   But love, so sweet, so soft, so near,   Whispered dreams into his ear.   A choice was placed upon his chest—   His passion’s flame, or love’s request.   He turned away from burning light,   Held her close, embraced the night.   Yet soon he found, to his dismay,   Both love and purpose slipped away.   For goals demand a heart of stone,   And love still longs to call its own.   To chase one means to lose the fight,   To hold both tight is rarest might.   So walk the road with eyes aware,   Choose with wisdom, choose with care.   For once you drop what makes you whole,   You lose the fire—and lose your soul.

Burdened

The weight of burdens, self-imposed, they bind,
Unreachable stars, a restless, searching mind.
The inner critic, with its cruel refrain,
Dimming the embers of hope's sweet, gentle rain.

Stumbles and falls, etched deep within the soul,
Victories forgotten, left to lose control.
The neighbor's greener grass, a taunting gleam,
Blinding the beauty of our own life's stream.

But wait, a whisper, a strength begins to rise,
To challenge the darkness, to question the lies.
Break down the giants, those mountains we create,
Into smaller steps, a more manageable gate.

Silence the critic, with kindness take its place,
Replace with affirmations, a smile on your face.
Learn from the stumbles, for wisdom they bring,
And celebrate victories, the small songs they sing.

Shifting the focus, from what others possess,
To the richness within, the heart's own happiness.
Gratitude's compass, a guiding, steady light,
To navigate darkness and find your own way, bright.

So rise, weary traveler, the path's not yet done,
But with each conquered challenge, a victory won.
For even in defeat, a seed of strength may lie,
To bloom with resilience, and reach for the sky.
