Arduos Authenticity

Day 4 NaPoWriMo ... April is Poetry Month and so to celebrate, I write a poem a day,

Arduous I say,

like a long trek up the 

mountain that lives in the clouds

on a blazingly hot summers day.

It is certainly an arduous task to be authentic.
But - 

authentic one must be. 

All too easy is the path when following

the master, the crowd, or societal flow.

For it is only when one is 

categorically authentic, 

without the hoo-ha, 

minus the fanfare,

and of course then, 

no balloons - 

can one begin to

read the scripts on his own heart, 

sing ancient lullaby’s of his soul, 

dance to one’s own unique rhythm of life.

Authentic is when the answers come, 

like sprinkles of stardust from the heavens above.

Answers drift down for the authentic to catch hold,

grasp,

have a kerching moment - oh, ah. 

‘I tell you it all makes sense.’

One must be ready, packed and prepared to 

be authentic, 

it’s a long journey inward.
The rewards are there, not there, but there all the same.

Authentic is an arduous task, 

not for the feint hearted, 

but quite possibly for you.
