Leonalia - Pearls of Great Price

Leonalia - Pearls of Great Price:

"It is never too late
to become what you dream
holding the vision high enough
until it encircles the heart
with honesty and inspiration.

Take hold of your desires
weighing carefully
that rope of costly pearls
then tether yourself
to side of your mountain
pulling with all your soul strength
to reach your summit.

From there the view will
be sumptuous and worthy
lighting the faith in yourself
with a brightness that will
not extinguish but only grow
in bursts of illuminations.

Leonalia - Questions and Dictates

Must I forever swing on the cusp
of acceptance with
shouts and dictates filling my ears.
Is my figure the right shape?
Are my eyes the right colour?
Grayness must be covered by
hues and tints of another shade.
Am I the person I want to be?
Am I too old?
Eating right and exercising will dispel
age, won't it.
If I think young, I will be young.
Meanwhile, my own enquiries about me are
drowned out in this onslaught of
pedantic rules and unpalatable
declarations.
Poisonous questions and statements
scream out the venom,
every day, from a bulging media serpent.
Ideas that are tyrannically
dictated by fat pay checks
in the hands of thin fashion editors.
And so I swing between the
me I should become and the real one.
My answer is
I will settle for me.
Myself, my inner light, my spirit.
my essential soul.
For isn’t in the end
the only one worth my acceptance,
me?
So then in the meantime
until a new me comes along
I guess, I will have to continue
to just keep on being
fabulous!"

SF 2006

Found some fairy gardeners outside this morning
Poppyangel took it all in her stride.

Here I am

Just a small first entry. My main blog is at Open Diary.

I was inspired by Carosel Dreams to come here.

I still have lots to learn about finding my way around here.

I love to paint, act, sing, look after my 6 starloves and eat.

Life is not a Dress Rehersal it is the show starring me.
