Description
Learning New Things
At some point
Far far in the future
This will seem easy
Right now I have faith
But very little skill
What I cannot accomplish today
Not even to save my life
Will become second nature
(Please, please let it be true!)
This brain twisting
Exhausting
Intense process
Is necessary
In order to become proficient
(I keep telling myself that!)
Learning something new
Seems daunting at first
Even small goals
Are unattainable
(Dammit! Not again!)
But eventually
Little by little
The first part becomes easy
Something to build on
And I can see light
Step by step
Bit by bit
Easier and easier
And one day ...
Ta-da!
Got it!

so very true. but in order to succeed one must know failure and know that you must try again pardon me! as a wise one once said, "do or do not, there is no try." YOU can do it
I recognize the oil brush from ArtRage. It's a good program and the programmer is very helpful fellow. I don't use ArtRage often enough. I'm really more of a photoshop person. Anyway, excellent write up and so true.
All too true but one has to keep trying.
Very wise words, dear Tara :-)))
Well said. "Nana korobi - ya oki" - "Seven times down, eight times up." You cannot lose if you refuse to surrender, but man is it frustrating.
Superb writing Tara. God bless.
Excellent and very true. The trouble is that 'far in the future' is an unlikely target at my age, so urgency is the key word!
true words wraped in realistic poetry! ;o)
Superb poetry! :)
So very true. :)))))) Beautiful poetry. :))))) Most excellent in each and every way my friend. :)))) Never stop learning new things. :))))))) Thank you for sharing all of the beauty you see and feel. :))))) We all must keep pushing forward. :))))))) Carry A Sunshine Smile In Your Heart :)))))
