The Bloom in The Trim

Arise and go to where the few go
Few gongs of green lights
I see the flicker of light in the night
I put a song on
I dance as I march to the starting line
A perch in merch
prances to the mountain
the mountain of trade
I am the revolving door
I pave the way; I serve, they serve me back
o my place and plate them to serve
is too small
I need manure, teeth to grow
sinews and meat of the business, to chew
So down on my knees
I am all a crane of decrees and pleas
up, up the crane right to
to the twenty-four hours storeroom,
entrance gate
Like a revolving door,
Praying
listening
No cowering, for answers
I wait
The providence womb
answers unto my supplicating crane
they supply
Running over
Gravitation takes my crane back to ground zero
I am a balloon of curiosity
my hands with all velocity
a dip into the miracle basket
Ouch! Ouch, my hands, my heart bleeds
Profuse of confusion
ooze of frustration
unceasing tears of anguish
They are the wisest, this I know
But blades as my daily bread?
blades for the upgrade
The sorrow can't simply blow away.
But it's another day
Now I know the blades were part of the deal
the bleeding not to kill
but for a capacity gloom for the new
The making up a business lady in progress still

Poetic Nuggets on the Entrepreneurial Journey
Every businessperson puts effort and possibly acquire new skills i.e.
Invest in the administration side of the business - the daily decrees, prayer
and preparation, to clear the entanglements along the way od starting up a business
However, the growth that happens after facing hurdles is incomparable to any preparation or efforts put together
Give ourself, room to fail. That's part of growth.
Nugget
The journey is full of challenges; they might be unique in one's business world, bearing in mind the holistic package of a person and holistic response. But challenges are common to all.
No farmer does grafting - a practice of placing one plant unto a stem or root of another to form a union of two plants.
Likewise, no businessperson goes to learn about becoming a doctor if all she needs is to cut spending habits in the business - so the best is to Prune the spending habits.
But how does one do that if she has never experienced pruning moments of any sort in one's life as she met them but did not see the prudence in the fragments?
Prudence
Let's not grow bitter and sour because of hard times; we hate them, period!
But yet if there was another way we could grow both professional and personal growth. We would. But sadly, sometimes, the only place to grow is the barren place.
Today's blades are their breadbasket of tomorrow, not if they are hungry, rather when they will be hungry.
Yes, certainly out of our business adventures and failures, our slips and trips are what will give them some sleep.
Knowing that our mishaps became mash-ups and the makeup of our entrepreneurial journey.
Undoubtedly we are not there yet, but they are comforted that we have not given up.
How liberating it is to the business world, even so in life, the parade of our mess-ups and not our cover-ups is the medicine that helps many to recover from otherwise seemingly irreparably or unredeemable life situations
HOPE
Only those who have known the bottom of the pit will come to appreciate and spend profits wisely.
More importantly, knowing that no business model or idea is free of challenges. Yet solving or rising above those challenges are some founding stones of a successful business.
Knowing this fact helps how to keep faith even during challenging times.
