In our prime, we have all felt
The pride of being invulnerable
I am intelligent enough to know
I am not invincible.
How do I stand on the edge of the
precipice and reach beyond the brink?
How do I achieve success, I must Think
Never say die, facing unsubdued issues impossible,insurmountable challenges.
A tribute to courage and an unconquerable will
To boldly go, where many have fallen before
To have their efforts vanquished at every turn
How do I learn?
The Proverbial Elephant in the corner
Has moved into the center of the room
Suffocating air in doom and gloom
Blocking me at every turn
How do I learn?
Facing that which is
invincible, unbeatable, unvanquishable
All victorious never have lost.
However At what Cost?
Perhaps if I were a Superhero ,
Attacking directly the face of adversity
The Ginormous Elephant next to me.
How do I course correct to clearly see.
Or do I give up , worse yet , don’t try, let it be
How do I eat the Elephant?
My father a very wise man
Taught me Be the engine that could, I Can
Wait your turn listen, learn acts of discernment
Don’t become overwhelmed
In scope depths and size
Keep your eyes on the prize
Wait calculate check every angle
Until you see clearly the angle of the dangle
Put one foot in front of the other
Take it slow and steady
Pace yourself It’s not a race
You’ll know when you’re ready
Take the path
Do the math
Simplicity the way to go
Don’t make a move until
Your sure you know
So how pray tell,
Do you eat an Elephant ?
Concise simple logic Sublime
One Bit at a Time
Hindsight is 2020
Breaking it down, smaller pieces, easier to handle
Bite off only what you can chew
If I only knew that meant more than Food
Inspiration is more than just a mood
