Poem
You say you used to dream but now you’re old and have no more dreams in you? and you say you have no more gas in the trunk? that life has not been good to you That your arthritis is too painful that you might have the big ‘C’, cancer and your big toe has an ingrown toe nail? I say so what? Do you write with your big toe? if it hurts, take care of it Does your arthritis stop you from writing? rub something on it If you have the big ‘C’, well, that’s life old friend write your hard earned legacy while there’s still time old or young we all dream even when approaching death death is what it is… and it’s only a breath away Who doesn’t have something screwy on or in our bodies? You’re tired you say your motivation and your creativity have gone and the rain has stopped and there’s no rainbow boo hoo, baby, so what? Nobody promised you a rainbow maybe you're the rainbow, the creator, that will write beautiful poems beautiful stories that will make a difference in somebody's life and gives them places where reverie exists and calms the jittery heart Where it lives in pure ecstasy Maybe you are the one that takes minds on wondrous flights you are the creator, the writer who'll bring dead, lonely lives to breathe clear and make unicorns cry You take defeated minds on journeys of undreamt successes you inculcate inspiration between the truths and falsehoods of life of venerable insights and undreamt desires you are the mystical muse who implores my gut to write again My dreams of long ago slowly helped me find homes for my lost forgotten poems pleading to be released from their dungeons of despair to find a home of release and respite WE ARE WRITERS NEVER FORGET THAT! WE ARE CREATORS! WE HAVE THE POWER TO LIFT SPIRITS WITH OUR WORDS AND IMAGES Fearlessly go forth into that dark but beautiful place you call your mind know that in you laziness or indolence do not exist stop whining, pick up your pen, pencil and write…anything! or sit at your typewriter or keyboard and dream, big dreams!!! NOW!!! RESTORE YOUR ASPIRATIONAL DREAMS. FEEL THE ECSTASY OF SUCCESS AND THE AGONY OF REJECTION LIKE THE REST OF US
