For a Reason
By Luis Batista
Occasionally I like to write in a variety, much like a true amateur poet and lately, I’ve been madly writing poems and posting them on WorldPress.com. When you get a chance, have a read for an appreciation! Just go to www.worldpress.com and type in Luis Batista “Amichi” and a list of all my entries and poems will appear. Read and click on the “like” button as you wish, the ones you favor. I’d like to know which poems of mine could be printed for a greater number of viewers, thank you!
Now, does anybody see any transformation in me, like a sparkle in my eyes, or a fascinating expression in my face? Does anyone senses my inner-power, or that I radiate total peace and serenity? Or yet, does any person start to listen to anything I say, or pay interest in anything I write? I doubt it. How can I cut timidity, earn self-confidence and gain courage to continue the road to success? How can I remove obstacles, develop poise, convey strength and be able to send enthusiasm, show kindness and respect and feel respected as well?
Weather I follow my instincts rightly or wrongly, I’ll try to listen to my heart, knowingly that I won’t ever adjudicate on the Almighty God. This is because I fear Him, not in the way as if He was on to punish me, but by assuring myself of my dedication to serve Him and only Him or as His will, and never be condemned at His final judgment. I will continue pray, ask and implore, so that I may assert my faith. Then I will use it through all the tasks I’m committed to do, along with my mission to serve the Lord, working the common good.
Therefore I want to offer myself promoting our Lord’s magnificence, in benefit of the world society as well as in my own, by way of working harder. I’ll learn to show character and transparency. With courage I’ll make every effort to gain enough knowledge, expand my horizon and reach for freedom. Besides, I’d like to make many friends; keep loving each and everyday more and more; laugh more often; have joy and pleasure in all that flows easily, accompanied by new emotions. This is the state of my fomented mind so quiet but resolute, like an almost invisible teeny tiny grain of sand in the vast universe…but for a reason!
Talking about joy, my lunch time is the best time, away from the world. I sit alone in the car, in a peaceful place and let my soul rest. I offer it the best possible music ballads and in turn, it returns me the assurance that I’m in good hands. Right away a flash hits my brain, as if the arrival of my inspiration needed a safe place to land. At that moment, my inspired mind conveys so much peace and joy that love soon can find its way around.
I also enjoy sitting alone in a room every time as I gaze through the window, at the full moon and any visible star, or through the door at our beautiful garden. A few minutes of peace and quiet are like, as if it was the only complement necessary for me to control anxiety and be positive, giving me at the same time excellent breath.
__The well spent summer has ended. Now I look at the leafless trees signaling that winter is still with us and the sun peering through, a promise that spring will be here soon. And as I live near the ravine, sometimes I can smell the muddy banks. At the same time I imagine the running water, the true meaning of a precious thing, life, and a reason for me to live.
