Notes About The Poem

Bring Me To Life With Inspiration

Life is full of beauty
 
Inspiration comes from what is around.

A child’s excitement sounds, as they’ve found 
their shadow on the ground then reaching down 
building balance, stretching without bound.

Or 

finding fear of the shadow as it follows, 
they stumble in tears and bellows.
 
Learn to let go, cannot change a rainy day or the chill wind, 
won’t help to complain, 

but

there’s always an open door to come in from the rain.
Quench moods and view the world around   
gain the amazing senses of sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing.  
Disappearing into the clouds full of sails steering not fearing,

but  

reaching a destination.
 
Vanish into a dream;

gaze off into the boundless blue sunny sky.
Stroll down the path against a slow moving stream 
out into the meadow under the shadow of a tree.
Take a deep breath, smell the rain damp earth,
flowers in bloom, and fields of green. 
Relax with the silence, 
only the sounds of the breeze 
moving through the leaves, 
birds singing, and movement through the field.
Causing head-to-toe goosebumps against your skin.

Today I choose life.. Life is full of beauty.

How wonderful, Eve, a fine philosophy, very inspirational and a tonic to those experience a drab day, literally or psychologically. Will do well, methinks. Viv x
