Behold,
How long it can often take
To build a dream into a reality,
And how little time is needed

Ask only…
By Aliana Alani ©2016
Ask not of others
to be what you want
them to be.
Ask only of yourself
to be who you
truly are.
Poetic Musings…
©Aliana Alani 2015
Soft in the light I wander
Angels hovering – waiting, protecting
‘To be or not to be’ sing the strains of Hamlet
The air ripe with questions
Perhaps even possibilities
And I, riding their undulating waves,
Await answers – but from where
To be –
what would that mean –
exactly?
Remember …
that deep within
You are the love you seek.
like a mantra –
As the dust of the world’s chaos swirls around, tempting us to enter its fray, this is what comes – like a mantra –
Every moment is an opportunity, even a blessing
Every breath is the breath of love
Every view is of the Eternal – no matter who,
no matter what,
no matter where
Within & beyond all – only Love
“It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist.”
