ARE YOU A HOPELESS ROMANTIC OR A HOPEFUL REALIST?

If you are a hopeless romantic, your mindset cannot reconsider
An attitude, which has historically focused your attention upon
Coveting that which may not be yours for the asking or taking

If you are a hopeful realist, your mindset feels intuitively
Unwavering from directing a positively focused attitude toward
Fortifying a host of inner strengths inclusive of courage, patience
Humility and resilience to work in tandem with
A strong spirited sense of creativity until your heartfelt vision of
Achieving the ‘Impossible Dream’ is your just reward—

If you are a reformed hopeless romantic named Annie, you still
Have need to work toward heeding this reality:
Though I know not to hold myself responsible for maintaining
The happiness of my love ones, knowing is logical while
Feeling is emotional, and as I habitually feel deeply empathetic
Whenever a loved one's sliding scale of happiness takes a nose dive
I must remind myself to put on my oxygen mask first or else
I'll be gasping for breath as if his/her pain is my own, and
As I am ‘people who love people’, that's way more pain than
My spirit can swallow, suppress or repress and still smile

Though wearied and in need of rest, my processor continues to
Feel drawn toward absorbing yesterday's lengthy string of
Insights ever more deeply in hopes of staving off a self imposed
Sense of inner tension from ballooning, leaving my think tank
Feeling so ungrounded as to be seen reeling in need of
Relief from layers of unresolved stress, which, having been
Repressed, represent an over abundance of
Unfinished Familial Business that periodically experiences
Sound reason to pound away at cracks in my self protective
Wall of denial until a darkly cloudy cluster of migrainee
Signals my processor’s power of intuitive thought to seek
Time spent in solitude so as to reflect quietly over
Recent events in hopes of enticing my subconscious to
Shine a spotlight upon an insight-driven sense of clarity, pinpointing
The main source of an inner conflict that feels like
A pair of cymbals crashing discordantly inside my head, repeatedly—
And—Holy smokes!  Guess what?  Here comes that
Coveted insight spotlighting the inner conflict, which
Over these past several days, has been in need of
Identification:  Each time my long-standing emotionally
Hyper vigilant  M.O. suggests—DO SOMETHING!—
My newfound sense of clarity suggests that I muster
The courage and patience necessary to groom my Fixer
To BECOME a positively focused, supportive influence on
The sidelines so as to remain so well grounded as to
Accurately absorb whatever is about to happen on
The playing field of each of my loved one’s lives —
Not an easy task for 'a family fixer' to pull off, and that’s
Especially true for ‘a fixer’ who had coached
A team made up of a trio of rookies to advance
Season by season, from the minors (while each was
Still a beginner adult in need of absorbing his coach’s
Well grounded guidance) until recent years when
They transitioned to the majors as fathers, suggesting
Their being called up to ‘the show’

If you wonder why my processor feels need to review
Clustering insights (published yesterday), repeatedly, my answer
Would be twofold:  Firstly, gaining a conscious awareness of
Clustering insights shortens the painwracked stay of
Clustering migraines, and secondly, with time spent in review
My word choices improve, easing your way through
Yesterday’s congested trains of intuitive thought, which
My processor felt need to cough up in hopes of encouraging
Both of us to absorb clusters of insight more deeply with
Each reading, and as repetition heightens levels of
Retention, my newly spotlighted inner conflict has been
Clarified, offering my wearied brain sound reason to hang
A gone fishing sign around my neck with an arrow pointing at
My head, and as the emergence of this light hearted moment of
Levity signifies a sense of mental rebalance recalibrating naturally
I hope your processor will join mine as, together, we utilize
A host of inner strengths to draw today’s insight-driven
Intuitive train of thought into the next rest station that
Is welcoming our thought processors to relax while transitioning into
The appropriate roles that match our present stages of life, an
Once you and I gain the clarity to pinpoint whom we’re meant to
Actively coach on the playing field of life vs whom we’re meant to
Offer positively focused ecouragement from the stands on
The sidelines, our spirits will ring aloud with
A healthy and hearty—High Ho Silver—Hooray!
PS
At this stage of my life, I’ll continue to encourage one and all
As to coaching—I’ll pitch to my sons—only if asked
As to my grandkids, I’ll pitch during one-on-one time
As to everyone else, I’ll relax in the stands and be
A supportive fan—and that’s my game plan unless experience
Offers my processor sound reason for reflective consideration
