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.
