Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'colored Specks'

Like colored specks on a dull canvas 
You can live your life 
The different shades of your array 
Will make an elegant display 

The sometimes blurred lines 
You create 
Will be your unique story
Not just for your eyes but for the world to see 
Trust yourself enough to go out there 
Own your spot in the cycle of life 

No one can rob you of that prospect 
It is just you and your reservations 
At times the no in your head 
Are ten times more shrill 
Then the yes in your heart 

Be mindful and trust your heart at times
