Action equals consequence . . .
inaction does as well.
Whether successful or detrimental,
only time will tell.
You can sit on the floor 'Indian style',
crossing your arms to wait;
longing for all that you don't have,
waiting for life to hand you a plate.
But sometimes doing nothing at all
is merely standing still.
It puts nothing at all into motion
leaving fate to choose as it will.
Better yet to pick yourself up,
dust it all off and take a step;
one foot in front of the other
leading yourself to where you'll get.
Take action for your own life,
have courage to walk and walk.
Don't be scared to speak for yourself
and remember to talk the talk.

I hate to admit it but my eyes tears up when I read this one. I realized there was something in my life that I never could face. And doing nothing about it had more of a negative effect then doing what I feared most.
ReplyDeleteYou are a wonderful poet and you captured my soul's thoughts. Thank you :)
Morning ~
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to help you and others by being your voice through my poetry.......
It touches me beyond words...
Love this! Many feel if they take no action at all, that it is just that - "nothing" - but you've often times spoken louder than had you done something/stood for something in the first place.
ReplyDelete{{HUGS}} for your wonderful work!
