Brainpower

Goal for the day
Just sit and write
Whatever comes out
Make it flow, make it light. 

Make yourself smile
Forget all the machines
Gadgets from people
And holiday themes.

Fingers to keypad
Or paper and ink
It doesn't matter
Just make yourself think.

Use what God gave you
That thing called a brain
Stop mulling over
How to put together a train.

You'll be suprised to find
Once you get going
You'll stop watching outside
For it to stop snowing.

Poetry frees 
The mind and the soul
It's what keeps us real
What keeps us whole.

Turn off the light
Music on high
Create till you feel
You can touch the sky.

Poetry leaves the heart
Warm and happy.
Whether its funny
Or a little bit sappy.

So here it is
My first for the year
Some words to hopefully
Leave everyone less fear.
