I Am The Iron and the Sweat…

I am the iron clinking early in the morning
In the afternoon, late into each and every night
I am a factory unlike any other you've seen
Even though I produce a well oiled machine

I am the blood, sweat and tears of the many
Who spend hours a day, working their fanny
To get quicker, stronger and stress free
I am the many who work inside me

I am the many with New Year's resolutions
Who think they have easy solutions
I am the many, many classes
Trying to shrink their very large assets

I am the youthful once a week slackers
Who are better at being stalkers and gawkers
I am the youthful basketballers
And their silvery networking racquetballers

I am the sauna skulkers
And the swimming lunkers
I am the cardio Kardashian
Dressed to impress, anxious to be seen

I am lastly and certainly not leastly
Those that are simply beastly
This is not bad in any sense
Their biceps, triceps and abs are simply immense

The Phoenix Emerges

All of the hurt and pain fueled the fires

Of its innermost heated desires

Its many battles tempered and forged it

Like a sword in a smith's fire pit

The emergence wasn't so much a start

But more of an inner and outer sight

Of many good times in a wondrous past

And how one could make them last

Belief in the awesome power of one

Began a light brighter then the sun

It emerged from the seemingly endless dark

A bright little ember, now ready to embark

The time is now thought the phoenix to begin

Until now what it had kept hidden deep within

With its faith in self and God restored

Out into the brave new world it soared!!

A Journey Into Self, Part-1

One wonders in the complex realm of our past. There are buried treasures long forgotten. Sometimes it takes us a while to hop on the I.C.E. train on a one-way trip back in time.

Looking back can truly be a prolific way to review what we've done right in our lives and how to replicate them in our present. A wise person once said, “It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step out onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to,” (J.R.R. Tolkien, “Lord of the Rings”). So let us keep our feet and begin our journey…

Dream Bigger

Look beyond the here and now

Look to the totally, terrific, tomorrows

For life is full of a myriad of opportunities

And utterly endless probable possibilities

Today is a result many

Yellow, yarn yesterdays

And mundane, mildewy Mondays

Today you can change your ways

Turn over a new leaf entirely

Walk confidently and proudly

Walk upright, head held high

Your time is nigh

Your future light is very bright

Your dreams will light up the night

You can, you will, you have succeeded

Your persistent will is all that's needed!

Like A Michigan Millionaire

My voice has been sold over 300 million times

I am featured in Guinness for my rhymes

I was once a part of two popular bands

One a meal club, the other one of many awards

Like another I started out dancing

In the big, big city

Like her I stood out singing

Alone I shone brightly

I'm not known for my acting but 

I have won two awards for it

For singing I topped the charts

Only beaten by British upstarts

I dance to a different drum

As well as play them

I have labels with a king

Some brothers, a nation and a scope

It's A Big World Out There For M.E.

I'm a master of many riddles

And a teller of many tales

I've traveled thousands of miles

I am an unlikely hero of many fables

I am really, really short

My pantries are stocked with each

And and every sort

Of food, drink and dish

I've fought two enemies with the same

Exactly the same, the very same name

Starting with a capital G

This should be so easy for M.E.

I'm a doctor of medicine right?

Or a thief, invisible in day or night

I'm an actor under a queen

I'm someone you've recently seen

Who Am I?
