Message on the wall of a downtown strip mall
right in front of my parking space

And, a blitz poem:

Here in Mind

You’re stronger than you know
You’re still here
Here to to tell your story
Here to play
Play the day away
Play with words
Words have power
Words build worlds
Worlds without
Worlds within
Within the realm of possiblity
Within your reach
Reach for the sky
Reach and you shall grasp
Grasp at straws
Grasp the truth
Truth slices deep
Truth can set you free
Free to believe
Free to be
Be fair
Be kind
Kind to all
Kind of a mess
Mess up
Mess becomes art
Art of living
Art of healing
Healing the hurt
Healing one another
Another day
Another time
Time to sleep
Time to rise
Rise and walk
Rise above
Above the clamor
Above the earth
Earth gives and reclaims
Earth keeps turning
Turning to mush
Turning the key
Key to the map
Key change
Change direction
Change your mind
Mind over matter
Mind your words
words
matter

Note: Here’s my dictionary poem from earlier in the challenge.
The blitz is meant to be quick bursts of thought. Here’s a link on how to create a blitz poem. The rules are a little complex, even for the title; but once you get going it almost writes itself.

I dedicate this blitz to my fellow Slicers.
