Inspiration

It’s funny but until she began writing

the poetic words that flow like a river from time to time

from deep within a place only she knows

She was deaf to the idea that the gentle whisper of inspiration can

be heard everywhere if she takes the time to listen

She once believed this delicate state of bliss could

only be found in her love and admiration for others

Now she has discovered that this gift

can be received in many forms

After an emotional storm of anger directed at one

who chose to remain selfishly ignorant

despite her repeated attempts of letting him know

she may have looked different and

therefore was different in his eyes

Yet she still deserved to be treated like a human being

In a few words of an everyday conversation

In the lyrics of her favorite songs

In the comfort of her lover’s embrace

As well as countless other people places and things

As long as there is inspiration to be found she will continue on

this journey of writing and self discovery

To all who have dreams she’d like to say

there may be unforeseen events that stand

in your way but don’t let those all to brief moments

hang like dark clouds over the goals you set for yourself

If you wake in the morning light and can only think of your dreams

you should pursue them whole heartedly never looking back

With a little faith and hard work I know

dreams can and really do come true
