At the beginning, my labour was a colossal flop
But my fortitude embraced me so tightly
My metier, my art I must exert wisely
This ruse, this bait I despise furiously
How can the opposers wittingly triumph?
This subterfuge, this stratagem
I must dismiss as I pursue vigorously
To win this war of morals
***************
Tirelessly, I seek out the ploy
I stood firm and pursued my opposers
I took the route of life
I raced in unnumbered evenings
I chose my fate with my eyes towards the light
I sweat as I scribbled on paper
I pause, gaze and crumble the sheets before me
No, not again with this ache
My head swirls and twirls
I stand up to ruminate and pace about
***************
On another page, I begin to mumble again
I scribbled zig Ziggy, I jotted zag Ziggy
Endless war to master coherence
What’s with this mumble jumble?
I dislike this muddle
This tingly tangle
Yet my astute senses beckon me on
I opened my heart this time
And my thoughts poured like rain on the roof top
In awe, I jumped into the clouds
The world hear my voice
***************
Now I must not falter
Now this mission I shall pursue
Like egusi soup cooked and left on the rafter
That sweetened the belly on the next meal
My profound progress cheers me on
My strides appears from the mist
Cleanses the scars of the fatal blow
The trickery of trepidation
Each note I scribble now
Each line I doodle
Every word I engrave
Fits rightly thus into its space
And falls magically into place
***************
In response to the Daily Prompt – Pursue.
Peace and Love!

Love the poem Stella. I can relate to the poem as I get my Life Coaching business. It takes creativity, persistence, and openness for it to happen. I am learning I can not force it. I simply need to allow it happen. Sounds like we have some common experiences.
