RHAPSODY OF THE HEART - The Territory...

Hold On....

Can you walk with me through this...
I woke up today thinking it was a Friday .
Ask me why..

I was Simply Tired and I don't mean tired in the literal sense.
But I was Tired.
Tired of the Daily sleep interruptions
Tired of having to wake my weary eyes with a hot cup of creamy coffee
Tired of running around to meet the demands of others
Tired of not freeing myself of the bondage
Tired of repeating the daily routines as we call them
Tired of the same expectations and
Tired of the restrictions set by the ancient ones...

Can you relate?

I believe my brain has been releasing thoughts at about
 99.9 tpm (thoughts per minute),
you might call it growth or the characteristics set by responsibilities, but
Life by itself has its way of growing old on you.
The responsibilities just don't cut it anymore
"I need more"
This territory just isn't it for me
"I want more"

More to life and to what and who I am.
Talent would just not cut it for me.
I have shadowed behind the gifts and talents
and still held on to the dreams that stay as dreams.

Pages turned.
I am reaching out for more of me.
Forgive me for what more of me would possibly look like
 but Forgive me NOT for its fruits
 for I owe you no apologies for my new territory ...
Hope you deal well (Smiles..)

RHAPSODY OF THE HEART- Remember ?

Remember...?

Tip toe back to the days when you simply laid back and enjoyed in every bit, the fruits from your parents labor...

Tip toe back to the days when decisions were made for you ...

Actually lets Slide right back to the birthday your first piggy bank was handed right to you as a birthday present...
you cannot deny the excitement lol

Guess what ... Life began right here...

No shield from pain

No distractions from responsibilities

No exclusions from labor

No day away from Planning your next meal..

Your supposed freedom once enjoyed, gone with the wind...

Manhood, womanhood, Adulthood, or simply Growth is what happened.

Your life right in your hands 

Your many attempts to evade failed, Didn't they?

Do you even remember how this started?

You were only but a dreamer, but now...

A Fighter,

An achiever,

A survivor,

Remember how long this journey seemed while you crawled? 

Well now as real as it can ever get.

The many companions lost in the run for success

The constant failures , the excuses, the competitions, 

and even the visions that once seemed vague...

Remember this,....This is your starting point!

RHAPSODY OF THE HEART - What would it be...?

For close to three years I have been disconnected from blogging. One would call it a loss of interest but i call it a conflict . A conflict which should not have been.There is nothing like speaking your heart out through words... I missed you all . Glad to be back! 

For my first post since the lapse, Here is one of the few thoughts i wrote out while away. You are allowed to call it a poem if you wish but I call it the RHAPSODY OF THE HEART- by Tasha Frost  .....

If it came to it, what would it be?

Comfort is when you see nothing but stability and feel no shift. An okay way to stay stagnant I must say...

When there are little to no alternatives,

When there are minute senses,

When there is absolutely no way in or out of the zone,

The zone.....

A choice I must add.

Being sane .....I mean lets consider all odds. The waves rise and hit hard when least expected. The confusion, the Pain, the uncertainties, the stress of them all poke in the least favorable parts of you. Thoughts running wild, those for which only you can identify. But a choice to stay sane is what it probably should be....

The Pretense to unsee the already seen

To forget the already known,

To erase memories that were then dear,

To Push the extra inch into a mile

or to Live....

What would it be?
