Won’t Fold

The Soothsayer

By Joseph SeveroPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

“Won’t fold - enrolled to play the role of soothsayer

- I approve an improved later;

Astute claims: Sure-fire moves made have proved prayers;

Modeled behaviors doubled as mood changers;

Range of states erased troubles - they stripped me down to my true layers;

This solid story is promissory of solace, glory, and more esteem;

I swore to me I’d embed seeds ‘til the forest’s green;

Exploratory courses - I trek scenes, see, and protect peace;

I collect pieces, connect meanings, project reasons;

I surely select healings, respect feelings, really reject ceilings

- Here’s what I’ve conceived:

I’ll keep believing, alleviating, being creative, and demonstrating;

I’ll generate all the power needed to meet the dream state;

I’ll spend hours educating - every present second a clean slate;

Supreme pacing, precision, decision-making, valiant undertakings - are each valued;

My understanding: Taking the time out for planning is well-worth the cost because the cause demands upstanding devotion

- The motion: Emoting, promoting the notions to folks about health and serenity;

Growing the platforms to reach and then teach them collectively;

Gaining exposure to impact the culture, and to hopefully increase the wealth and amenities - spread it with friends and family - we could all live the ideal;

I’ll do everything I must to see visions turned real.”
