NaPoWrMo #16 & 17: Walking with my beliefs

 

I missed a poem on the 15th, but now it is April 16, 2026., hence 2 poems tonight.


 The Walk

Stepping out my front door

Filling my lungs with

Fresh washed air

It is moist

Fortified with mist

Heated with early

Spring sunshine

That the green

Lush, tangled undergrowth

Steam rises off of it

to connect with the morning

Producing a silent yawn

Opening the day

Pulling back the curtain

Showing what is on stage

With daring purples, pulsing yellow,

Touches of red, white, and pink

Glittering with wet crystal-like droplets

of the overnight sassy storm

crunch of the gravel underneath my feet

as I embrace this revitalized world

who welcomes me to leave

the thunder and rain behind

 

A Firm Foundation

Belief is an unshakeable promise

To hang on to the unseen

The manifestation of  a single focus

That postulates precisely what

One knows what happens in the darkest night

And in the most gloriously bright day

Belief is someone that is more than something

That drives hard into what one can put into words

It is actively believing in oneself

That they are correct in holding this credence

Examining it and turning it over

To see what is on the very bottom

What makes it stand upright

What gives that foundation

Even when no one else thinks

They are right

It is knowing they are correct

And can conquer the doubts

Despite not being able

To see what is over that fence

And to break out of the cell

Beliefs break them out to be free

not caring  who sees them dance

to the music in their own band

knowing they have won
