Christopher Rowland Poet Rhyme

Arms Wide Open

"Lots of thoughts in my head today,
Of those who are special and far away 

I am careful not to think to deep,
And wonder; which will affect my sleep

Better to keep it light,
For that is right

So what’s this motion,
Your arms wide open 

Are we measuring the width of a door,
Or an exercise to strengthen our core?

Is it to signal how much to back up,
Or a playful “airplane” strut

To bring a smile on a little one,
While in a park having fun

Is it the beginning of a ballerina twirl, 
Or the pose holding a flag unfurled

I think it’s a sign of acceptance and trust, 
One has confidence, a must

To let life be,
Beyond what you see

Unselfishly,
And deservingly

For a heart needs to be free to chose,
Without the fear to lose

What you want to hold so closely,
Better with your arms open you see

A basket over a light,
Is not right 

So to the beauty,
Should shine through 

Of those you hold so dear,
For me it is perfectly clear"
