A Poetic Moment Pondering the Art of First Impressions


First encounters often relay to our brains an often overwhelming amount of information,
This information often decides if a subsequent possible encounter shall occur,
How our energetic signals in our bodies react can at times result in the not ideal,
Current polarities and situations can also make harmony concur…

Yet more often than not first impressions draw out our worst perspective views,
Needing us to make repairs to elements towards ourselves and often others in the encounter,
Especially if subsequent encounters may be inevitable for us both,
For a bad or even mildly rocky first encounter may leave one or both in a perspective doubter.

Whilst we all want to and try to make our first impressions great,
Being empathetic and understanding may take at times a lot to be our fate,
Trying to decipher to adequately understand enough about another is far from being easy,
And has probably been known to make more than just a few people rather queasy!

Thus once again when we find ourselves attempting to ‘put our best foot forward’,
Probably with an after sigh wondering why we even bothered,
Yet as we are guaranteed we’ll be making first impressions all of our life,
Surely there’s a way to find a balance in the dance to keep us in less strife.

For the art of first impressions ’tis not something one should study lightly,
It’s a self mastery that may one day save you from being ‘disassembled’ unsightly,
As a decent level up of basic etiquette in the area can take a lot of us to new levels,
Whereas a decorum element can save us headaches and from becoming dust on gossip shelves…

A Poetic Moment of Aligning Polarities Amidst a Heatwave

When temperatures average well above 40 right through most of the day,
Finding ways to survive can be a challenge on its own let alone keeping cool,
Thus when cooling elements are found differences can be at times ignored,
Irrespective it be a river/sprinkler/air conditioning or lounging by a pool…

For ’tis true not just for people when roads start becoming a sticky mess as they melt,
But for those seeking a cooler moment in the ever interesting animal kingdom too,
As in times like these ’tis nothing for birds to bring their babies to rest in the sprinklers mist with the cat,
Cautiously trusting they’re safe though seemingly knowing if they give him his space it’ll hold true.

Or a flock of magpies to join the bush doves and younger kangaroos in a damper spot,
Where water has sat after rain or from sprinklers in the heat of the morn before,
As aligning polarities amidst a heatwave means so many more can continue to survive,
Even if it means kingfishers and magpies taking turns so all get their cooler times galore!

For keeping cool amidst a heat wave in the outback ’tis near an art,
And in its mastering one can make all the difference to all whom thrive,
Whilst as humans we can only observe and support the ways the wildlife seraphically align,
Their polar lifestyles perspectives in a way that allows all cooling moments within their stride!

A Poetic Moment Pondering Our Understanding of Perception Being the Key to Empathy

Try as we might no two beings can ever share the same view of perception,
Even identical twins with their amazing abilities still have varied perspectives,
Though we empathise and attempt at times to align with the view of another,
Our brain still separates ours from that of the chosen other..

Despite attempts to understand ~ attempts to empathise,
We truely struggle not to clash when polar perceptions arise,
Even when 'tis the perception of someone to which we’re very close,
There’s still little we can do to fully align perspectives beyond our human dose.

At times as these ’tis when well practised etiquette MUST lead our way,
For when it can’t or doesn’t ’tis when to arguments we are lead astray,
Thus mastery of oneself can perhaps be our best solution to this quest,
And being mindful towards those whom in the moment aren’t probably is best.

But how can we possibly achieve this mastery and mindfulness towards others?
When our lives feel already overwhelming ~ making us want to run to our mothers…
Can we really get our minds to permanently master etiquette? Well… No.
As ’tis an ongoing practice needing us to master each moment as we go.

Yet as we learn new tactics and apply them to our lives,
Our ability to master ourselves in each moment grows and thrives,
Becoming easier to conquer this never ending quest for ourselves,
Though still as humans we all have moments we leave our mastery on our shelves.

’Tis in these dreadful moments we need mindfulness from those we are around,
A silent empathetic understanding rippled out needing not a sound,
Though more often we’re met and mirrored with just the opposite,
Which leaves us wounded in ways that can have affects rippling undesirable from it.

These wounds if left in need of healing for way too long,
Can impact our lives and future generations after we’re gone,
Thus ’tis imperative we strive to heal and make repairs,
Irrespective of the moments we endure ‘are you mad?’ glares.

Yet heal and conquer our mastery of ourselves we MUST,
Despite the rolling eyes we may perceive around us,
We need at times to align ourselves with the warrior we’ve within,
Before our lives for the current day should even really begin!

A Poetic Moment Pondering the Importance of Conquering Challenges

Upon our path through life we often face an abundance of challenges,
They guide us into the wiser beings we shall eventually become,
Though there’s times when the challenges we face feel unconquerable,
Yet we still get through them learning lessons often invisible though never none.

Thus we go forth learning all we can to conquer the challenges we’re yet to face,
Despite never knowing what they may be or where/when they will occur…
As when they do hit we need to be as ready as we can be,
For being ready for the unknown as ’tis possible is what we’re told to prefer…

Though how important is it for us to actually conquer and learn from our challenges?
Is it not also important to be defeated by them at times?
Can't challenges sometimes just be telling us something is not meant for our path?
As polarity cannot always allow for life to be sweet and sublime.

However irrespective if we conquer the challenge we face or not,
’Tis how it supports our evolution that is more to this elements key,
For all the challenges we face are designed in a way that helps us grow,
Pushing us ~ often uncomfortably ~ towards the version of ourselves we need to be.

Thus next time one is facing a challenge that’s uncomfortable and rough,
Perhaps take a moment and asses what the purpose of said challenge is potentially,
As it may enlighten a path through one may not have noticed before,
Allowing one to endure and learn what is needed in greater ease subsequently.

A Poetic Moment Contemplating Mastering the Art of Idea Sharing for Greater Manifestation Success

When one’s an idea they’re obsessively passionate about,
They may want to scream it to the entire world,
However, despite the fact most of the world wont want to listen,
The moment one should fully announce their ideas is probably best left until it’s unfurled…

Yet keeping what we desire to manifest bottled away inside of us alone is unhealthy,
Thus picking whom one tells and what details to keep to oneself is a heavy key,
For the moment we tell too much to the wrong person it may be over rather quickly,
As sometimes those we trust can eradicate our creations/plans or make them theirs and flee…

So when we divulge an element of what it is we desire to bring into the world,
One way to safe guard the whole manifestation ‘tis by questioning before we speak,
A simple ‘what to tell or not to tell’ moment in our thoughts can save all we’re working upon,
Lightening the weight of keeping it all to oneself whilst still keeping its unique components secretly complete…

For even when we’ve a team to support us through whatever we happen to be doing,
Each only knowing what they need to know allows the other elements to be sacredly stewing,
Which gives the universe it’s space to work on it’s elements whilst the others are queuing,
In ways we may never understand through the plot twisting challenges it tends to like slewing!

Thus whom we tell or don’t tell and what ~ whilst ’tis a quintessential decision for us alone,
We need to remember manifesting can be rather negatively impacted from our decision,
Despite the positive support we can be given from imparting the right elements to others,
’Tis a rather intricate element that we need undertake with the utmost nuanced precision.

A Poetic Moment Appreciating an Outback Moon

When ’tis summertime in the Australian Outback,
Water becomes life ~ be it water sports, drinks, or sprinklers…
Bush fires burn away debris, storms wreak havoc washing so much away,
And venturing outside in the over 40 degree midday is generally dodged by shade seekers…

Thus while the sun prefers set way after 8pm and children rebel going to bed,
One cannot help but enjoy the soft replenishing cool of the midnight moon,
Whilst she boldly illuminates the vast, clear, star strewn Outback skies,
Allowing all to work their nights away in the cooler weather as it looms.

For even on the darker nights when she shan’t shine as brightly,
The glow of the moon or lack of still brings her element though more lightly,
Allowing all to take reprieve from the long days epically sweltering heat,
In turn in places bringing a welcomed chill that one gratefully finds sweet.

For ’tis when the plants come back to life after wilting in the sun all day,
The time when the animals enjoy coming out to eat and play,
As surviving the Australian Outback’s summer day’s an endurance task in the least,
Even for those designed to withstand the elements be they bird, plant or beast…

Thus why in the summer the moon’s intensity shines so boldly a reprieve,
Allowing all to replenish their body’s and souls ‘fore in the morn she takes her leave,
As when the dawn chorus refreshed from a cooler night take their stage to gently sing,
The sun shall rise to announce again ’tis yet another long hot day now commencing.

A Mini Mindful Moment Energetically Dissolving Layers of Illusion

When we find ourselves facing layers of illusion,
In whatever mysterious form they may appear to be,
Often we want to just view it from a perspective of ignorance,
Wanting to ignore it and accept what it wants us to believe or flee…

Yet if one opts to though uncomfortable to face one can peer through the smog,
Dissolve the illusion through a simple mini mindful moments monologue…
Thus sit back and relax ~ let the day’s weight lighten for this moment,
And take a long slow deep breath in… then out ~ as ’tis a necessary component…

Now just picture yourself in a blue grey bush style clearing,
Red sand’s ‘neath velvet green moss under foot ~ bird song’s all one’s hearing,
You cannot see beyond as it appears to be a rather warm yet foggy morn,
You think ’tis mid morning though you cannot see the sun you believe it is way after dawn…

Here’s where we now cue the fun of this and tear through the illusion,
See the fog symbolically as the element that is causing you the confusion…
Now smell the air… and realise it’s far from fog ~ perhaps smoke, thick sleet or rain,
Let it seep into all of your senses and evolve your perspective to whichever you align without pain…

Then step forwards and allow it to vigorously rain ~ washing away all you once thought to be fog…
Thoroughly cleansing you and all that lies in your bushland surrounds,
Before the sunshine breaks through… revealing what lay hidden beneath,
That the foggy illusion had covered which can now be known to you in abounds…

Yet one need always remember it takes more than just one moment,
To fully enlighten one to any well buried in illusion hidden component,
Each time does however reveal it further to your conscious perception,
Thus further extinguishing and in turn dissolving illusions deception.

A Poetic Moment Pondering Important Elements of Focus…

Sometimes when one gets caught up in creating a thing,
They can unconsciously overlook important elements of their life,
Despite all they desire to enhance through their creations development,
Unintentionally elements can consequently get flung into strife…

Thus it can never hurt to regularly take a moment for reflection,
Ensuring our balance hasn’t been thrown too far off through early detection,
Of anything we may have been neglecting through our focus being honed towards our creation,
Even if they’re quintessential to our very sanities seraphic elation..

For once an element has been flung into the grasp of chaos,
’Tis often a challenge to regain control with any element of ease,
With any description of balance to continue upon one’s path henceforth,
Any ability to create with the velocity we so passionately please.

Thus ’tis a situation where we need take our flow back to the planning phase,
If we’ve any hope left to bring balance to the elements lost from our gaze,
For often it shan’t be too late to save them from beyond our grasps strays,
Despite the obvious fact they’ve been long outside our thoughts haze…

Now though it is often a task one must uncover alone ~ often when the universe throws it in our face,
Supportive guidance is always an element one can seek whenever resonant,
And can truely make a difference to keep one’s sensitive balance afloat,
Allowing one to flow with greater ease ~ seraphically confident.

A Poetic Moment Upon the Road

Close your eyes a moment ~ picture yourself turning on your preference of vehicle,
The motor roaring to life near on your command ~ sorry this one won’t work too well with a bicycle…
You prepare whatever need be as the motor warms a touch to use with ease,
‘Fore venturing out of one’s parking place to wherever your mind shall please,
Those lucky enough to be out of town you know of watching the dust cloud trailing behind,
Though for those enjoying civilisation there’s a reason this is designed to be in your mind… 🙂

For when one’s driving in the smallest amount of bull dust even a kid on a push bike can make a scene,
And Machinery ‘tis slow enough it can at times make the untrained eye question if ’tis dust or where a fire’s been…
Thus as you drive to the conditions with dust trailing behind in a near unmistakable cloud,
Music though optional ’tis bound to be an element that’s fun and usually loud…

Eventually the rather fun road of dust and rocks unmistakably turns to one with tar,
Which if one’s got newer mud tyres on can make you question if something’s wrong with the car…
Experiencing the hum of the vehicle ~ irrespective of where you happen to sit,
Is one rather polar to boring if you actually tune your mind into it…
As a diesel engine irrespective the vehicle has a tendency to roar like a mechanical beast,
Though I’ve less knowledge of other variants I’ve heard those with the least ‘Dino juice’ roar the least..

Then the noise of the road can also vary insanely dependant on the quality of road and ones tyres…
Ie: muds on a chunky sealed road is from a nightmare whereas all terrains on a sweet smooth road has a dreamy hum to it’s outliers,
Thus to say the sounds of the road can be a hypnotic affair be they aloud,
Probably explaining why so many enjoy time behind the wheel or out on whichever road their life has them found…

Adjourning through the Illusion of Failure: Upon A Path to Growth

When one finds themselves noticing that they’re venturing back rather than forth,
It can create an uncomfortable moment rather devastating to endure,
Though one needs to remember like a snake we must shed the old in order to grow,
Thus despite the discomfort ’tis a necessary component that is without a cure…

Knowing this we must continue on our paths with extra diligence,
So as to not be left shrinking in the heat upon a sharp barbed fence,
For once we’ve finished shedding that which holds us stagnantly back,
Growth will propel us forwards to a new level of our lives with less lack…

However we may never know until we evolve through this current stage,
What type of abundance is held awaiting our arrival in the next level of our lives,
While we can hope ’tis a prosperous place loaded with bliss and harmony,
Ensuring one’s prepared for challenges will never be a bad thing to strive.

Yet despite knowing this we’re still often at a loss when adjourning through the illusion of failure,
As it often pushes us epically beyond that which we can comfortably endure,
Testing us to expand our respective abilities and tolerance to challenges,
So we can learn to push through the illusions to what lies ahead with less binges.

Though like most things we often are in need of an element of support to venture onward,
Through the illusion to the light glowing beyond that which we currently see,
Thus if you find yourself flailing and needing a guiding element online/from afar,
What one can find through thepoeticlife2.net may be the supportive element for thee.
