BY GLORIA O’KOYE
Passion being fulfilled
Is like cottonwood fluff burning evenly
Across the land.
Not being caught up by any unnecessary
Distractions.
No need to set off forest fires
That don’t need to be provoked,
If there were no blessings
And ceremonies that are ancestral
Wisdom led.
Knowing that achievements stack up
Internal minds
Is refreshing to quench the thirst of
Success, like an oasis within a desert.
It is a breath of fresh air to the spirit
When all was given so the fruits are
Real,
Unlike wishful thinking without
Determination shown in actions
Is like praying while walking through
Scorching sands.
Not distinguishing which water of life
Are mirages
Tempting for a taste,
Deceiving any visions.
Even divine messages are lost
If a heart
Stubborn as boulders
Does not listen to the intuitions
Cautioning with series of
Discernments.
A open minded being
Will have doors open.
A humble being that knows their worth
Will succeed without burning any bridges.
