The Soul's Canvas

authentic living

  • Unshackled

    Unshackled

    Trapped in a fantasy,
    Ensnared in a dreamscape,
    A gilded cage of your own design.

    Paralyzed by fear,
    Roots of doubt anchoring you to illusion,
    Afraid to truly live.

    Shielding yourself from
    The guardian,
    While baring your soul to
    The hunter.

    Doubting virtue,
    Condemning it as vice,
    While trusting the wicked,
    As if malice were grace.

    Clarity is absent,
    Lost in the fog of self-deception,
    Discernment deceived,
    A compass spinning wildly,
    Wisdom is a forgotten art,
    Buried beneath layers of false knowing.

    Arrive in the present.
    Be here, now.
    Show up for life.

    Leave the foreign shadow.
    Don’t miss the raw, unfiltered moment.

    It’s simple—
    Yet profound in its simplicity.
    Slow your mind,
    Let it breathe.

    Unshackle yourself,
    Break the chains of false perceptions.
    Emerge from the cocoon of fear,
    Spread wings of authenticity.

    In the clarity of presence,
    Find the strength to be vulnerable,
    The courage to be real,
    The wisdom to discern truth from lies.

    Embrace the unscripted moment,
    Where life’s true magic unfolds.
    In nakedness of spirit,
    Discover the freedom of being.

    Unshackled at last,
    Step into the light of your own truth,
    Where every breath is a celebration,
    And every moment, a rebirth.

  • Chase your Dreams?

    Chase your Dreams?

    Push your dreams
    Towards your future?
    A mirage ever-receding,
    Leaving only
    Footprints and memories
    To chase.

    No, grasp your dreams
    In the palm of now.
    Feel their weight,
    Their texture, their warmth.
    Dreams are not for tomorrow,
    But for this breath, this heartbeat.

    Manifest, don’t wish.
    Create, don’t wait.
    Your dreams are not distant stars,
    But seeds in your hands,
    Ready to be planted
    In the soil of today.

    Don’t let your aspirations
    Become ghosts of “someday.”
    Breathe life into them
    With the power of now.
    For in this moment,
    Dreams transform into reality,
    And you, the dreamer,
    Become the creator.
