Persistence
Persistence
is staying in the game
until the end.
When you run a race,
persistence is not the winning,
but the finishing.
Whether you are, first or last
it doesn’t really matter,
so long as you get to
the finishing post.

What staggers me is not the persistence of illusion, but the persistence of the world in the face of illusion.

Blessed Persistence
i changed my mind
and looked no better
hard of hart blind blind to his higher art
my frustration
my anger in disguise i slip under
i slip under quiet
he spots me anyhow
chalk up my name
you burn my bridges for me
to a dry and clackin stalk
i swallow stone
they do not recognize inside with them
the locust has no king
just noise and hard language
they talk me over but i fade slower
on fever
blessed persistence right under my skin
blessed persistence
blessed persistence right under my skin
you burn my bridges for me
to a dry and clackin stalk
blessed persistence
nothing comes to mind
nothing comes to mind
nothing comes to mind
nothing comes to mind
hey chalk up my name
right under your skin
to a dry and clackin stalk
nothing comes
nothing comes to mind
nothing comes
nothing comes to mind
nothing comes to mind

Nothing in the world will take away persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than an unsuccessful man with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Release And Let Them Go By Name
How to avoid the persistence,
Of frequent headaches?
Release and let them go by name.
And be sure what is done is consistent.
Do not treat what is believe to be a migraine.
They will return for the hospitality...
One shows to host and claim to sustain,
For purposes of a popularity,
One hopes will stay unchanged!
How to avoid the persistence,
Of frequent headaches?
Release and let them go by name.

Just as the water of a river near its mouth, in its final form, is composed largely of many tributaries, so an idea, in its final form, is composed largely of later additions.
Friend to Friend
Listen closely my friend
For I have something to tell you-
Life's a butterfly's persistence
It began its struggle
Grasping edges leaf to leaf
But my inner buckle
Strapped me in from any grief
This persistent endurance
Began awakening a spark
I started seeing signs
Even in the darkest dark
Once in an event occurred
Causing a balance loss
Being that I had conquered
A cocoon formed from the toss
It emerged and flew away
To another point
When renewing that past day
I appreciate my standpoint
I will never give up
I won't back down
For I know-
Life's a butterfly's persistence.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine
I see you as a loving soul;
I see the sensitive heart beating behind
Wishing to unwind
Hark! The herald Angels Sing!
To promise love in heavenly wings
The second side of your soul's coin
Is your beautiful Persistence! !
To uncoil the stress of life’s little mishaps!
When each one leads to the other
And soon you are into a maze sucked!
And you are by these drugs truly taken
I see you wedded to it
With the consistence of being married
So constant and driven
Straight back home
What ever be! !
Then my eyes see within your soul
Seeing the great persistent lovely person within!
I see too,
How had life loved you for your little mistakes
You would have never
Lost touch …….
With life’s main roads
You too would have
Been on your way
Striving to do your best!
If you turn to using it to creative efforts
Divert your money there!
Hark! The herald Angels Sing!
To promise love in heavenly wings
The second side of your soul’s coin
Is your beautiful Persistence! !
Promise not this world its joys in guarantee
But I promise true happiness with in your soul! !
When you respect yourself!
The world too
Will sit up and DO! !
To err is human
To over come is Greater effort!
Pat your self on your back!
For those who err not!
Never had the guts to try!
They speak from heights of ignorance
But YOU who have gone its way
Learned to it all overcome
Are KING
Of your emotions!
Pick your head up!
Square your shoulders!
To please the entire world
IS NEVER POSSIBLE!
But you can learn to PRIDE “YOUR SELF! ”
For now; A TRUE RULER! ! !
OF your Emotions and Self!
Hark! The herald Angels Sing!
To promise love in heavenly wings
The second side of your soul's coin
Is your beautiful Persistence! !

I Will Have
I will have loved you
from the first to last day of my existence.
I shall not waver from this love
if only through my persistence
in finding only the best of you
to always look upon.
And anything that's not the best
I will let be gone.
I will have loved you
from early morn to the silence of the night.
I shall not count the hours between
for too quickly they take flight.
And any loss of time with you
is an ache I'll always feel.
However, the promise I will make
is that not even death can steal
this love I have for you.

Love flows against banks
Every flow slows with resistance.
Sexual love is an exception
It flows against resistance
With increased persistence.

There Is A Big Difference
It is both a duty and a privilege,
To be able to do this.
And to discover a persistence,
That has my loyalty attached to it.
I think of those without hobbies at all.
And devoted to a job until retirement calls.
With no other interest,
That is creatively expressed.
To exist to get a piece of that dangling 'pie'...
With the hopes that the taste of it,
Satisfies.
Never attracted my ambitions.
It is both a duty and a privilege,
To be able to do this.
And to discover a persistence,
That has my loyalty attached to it.
Oh,
I have heard it said many times...
My contributions are worthless.
And how I chose to be lazy...
Because I did not choose to work!
And no one that I know,
Has pursued what I've chosen to do.
Even though what I do appears easy
However...
There is a big difference.
They are paid wages for a 9 to 5.
And I'm not paid a cent,
For my 24/7 devotion.
It could be debated I am crazy.
But I am certainly far from lazy.
I don't rush home to watch TV.
Or find I have slept,
To be awakened by commercials.

See My Love, See My Life
How can you not see me now?
When will I leave this love?
I wanna fly will you teach me how?
I wanna soar through the sky above
But I know we grow no wings
However you can make me high
Would you call my hope a sin?
My hope that you will help me fly
They say a love lost
Is better that a love ignored
This ignorance, my heart, it frosts
Please my persistence you must award
Every time we split apart
I feel you taking my heart
I lived in the dark swore never to fall
But was there a time I didn’t love you? I don’t recall
Silence it falls it crushes my hopes
Why when you are near is my voice far away
I always wonder how my soul copes
My love for you grows day by day
