The words that flow through you is the fingerprint to your inner voice.
Mark’s Writing Motto #24
Mid-Life Reflections
Go Straight
When there is darkness
and stagnation
in front of you…
go straight
When life causes
extreme hardships…
go straight
When trouble
overwhelms you…
go straight
When your path
becomes hazy and unclear…
go straight
When obstacles become
too difficult to manage…
go straight
The course you take
must never waver
Always have faith
and never falter
Forge onwards
to greater heights
so that
your dreams and goals
may come to fruition
and then and only then
will everything turn
out better
If you just…
go straight
Be Who You Are
Your words may
not be the most
eloquent,
emotional,
humorous,
thought-provoking,
informative,
or
inspirational
but that does not mean
you should give up writing
The fact that you’re
making an attempt
to share yourself
despite being judged
makes you a devoted
artist to your craft
with the heart and spirit
of a true writer
So lift someone up
with your words
and
make it stand the test of time
Weather The Storm
Just remember,
the storm will pass
It’s not going to always to rain
because the sun
will continuously fight
against all odds
to break through the clouds
to keep its light alive
and shine
for all the world to see

Enduring the unexpected with fluid motion.
“There Is Hope” Haikus
When bad things happen
Always know that there is hope
So never falter
Hope produces faith
Faith builds determination
Obstacles subside
Believe in yourself
Make your journey go forward
Hope springs eternal
Power At Your Fingertips
Lay down the foundation
for positivity
by using words that promote
thought,
creativity,
joy,
love,
and humor
Make your heart become
the voice
of a writer
who wants to make a difference,
who wants to evoke emotion,
who wants to bring change,
who wants to entertain,
who wants to inspire
If you can do that
in your own unique way,
you have truly mastered
the craft of writing.
Every Word Counts
If you want to make people smile,
make every word count
If you want to make people laugh,
make every word count
If you want to entertain people,
make every word count
If you want to inspire others,
make every word count
If you want to make a difference in people’s lives,
make every word count
So be creative,
be daring,
set your soul free
Be the kind of writer
you dreamed of
and
make every word count
To Share Your Words
When you are writing
and the words
flow through you
You’re on a higher plane,
you have clarity of purpose
You strive
to get your message
out into the world
To touch the untapped minds
of those
who are ready to see
the true beauty
of the written word
and make known
the meaning,
the elegance,
the exquisite
craft of prose
Quiet Time
There are times when
your mind goes blank
and
there are no words
Have no fear,
the mind just
needs a chance
to rest and recharge
So let the process
run its course
and
it will be back to normal
Until then
do not worry
the mind is not empty,
it’s just quiet
