Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Well said, Malak! We must be adaptable on our journeys of self-discovery; we must accept and expect that much is unknown. Your philosophical analysis of the parts of or requirements for being brave and self-aware is excellent synecdoche. Your stanzas are so well developed and balanced, your rhymes are powerful. Great poem!! By, Linda Powers O’Dell

Soar into Change

Any journey where all is known
Is too predictable, boring even,
While the bends, ups, and down
Aren’t fixed, they do stay hidden

The beauty of self awareness
Is in being flexible, adaptable
To changes that can repress
The ability to move forward, that’s indomitable.

Catch the fire of self-discovery
That soars above your comfort
Zone, where all is set, scheduled, an armory
Of built masks that dissuade building a port

Where support and change
Are an integral part of being brave
Enough to be aware that a stagnant age
Is a slow death of imagination as a bondslave.

Intentions

Upon reflection on a year gone by,
I notice that life is short and needs to fly.

As time dissipates in the fog of winter
Storms that flog your optimism into a pauper,

I lie back and wonder …
How do I make the following year better?

My goals are set for my self-improvement,
Where I wish to feel no bereavement.

Goals are so arbitrary, that, at times
They pull you down into hades.

As I set my goals: reducing my intrusive
Conversation and being more conservative

In my opinions, but only with certain
Peoples, who lack perception.

Another goal is to write more,
Submit more, and succeed more.

I believe the latter more feasible,
As the first requires me to be more biddable.

I hope to achieve a certain censorship
As not to come to hardship.
