‘Though the road is long
And the future bright
Sometimes the horizon
Is a daunting sight
Keep moving forwards
Through darkness and light
And witness the Universal
Magic
Strength
And wondrous might

The Angel of Hope
Passed on a thought
To those whose vision was clear
The Angel of Hope
Suggested to most
That help is always near
Stranger things have happened
Sudden changes occur, no need to shy away
Life goes on, as they say.
Switch on the light, and chase the devils off
Drive out the negativity
With as many snatches of happiness as possible.
Mistakes happen and make you growl
But they are the bread and water for change.
A stripe in a clear blue sky fades away
As can whatever is holding you back.
I’ve recently discovered this on You Tube:
Twenty-four hours of incredible relaxing music. Just the thing to let everything wash away. I was listening to this in the background, whilst dabbling in a little digital abstract making. I listened. I blended. I layered. I created. I relaxed.
I’ve named this abstract ‘The Essence of Creation’. The name came to me as I painted. It has both a fiery warmth and an underwater feel to it, I find. Apart from that, it is merely, in essence, an abstract… deep, shallow, meaningless or full of meaning only in the eyes of the beholder.
Sometimes the way forward can be hidden, covered up by doubt and frustrations. Other times the pathway is clearly visible and all that is needed is just that first step.
Whether the way ahead is hidden, or that first step is proving difficult to take, keep moving. Forge ahead and see what opens up in front of you.
