Follow the music. Steady step.
Look to the horizon. Breathe deeply.
But sometimes, the music fades,
And the horizon blurs with tears.

Cold water. Energizing shower.
Clear dreams. Peaceful night.
Yet, off and on, the water chills to the bone,
And dreams are chased by restless thoughts.

Lift weights. Strength grows.
Read a book. Clear your mind.
However, there are days when weights anchor the soul,
And words swim in fog, elusive.

Walk slowly. Observe the sky.
Gratitude. Self-love.
But at times, the sky darkens with doubts,
And self-love whispers become faint.

Persist. Learn. Fall and get up.
Live fully. Embrace your being.
It can be challenging to stand up at times.
And living entirely seems like a distant star.
