Come Alive!

No light does enter 
a darkened mind that 
cares not to see the 
world and its beauty.
Open your eyes, now.

Do not stand there
in the shadows
wishing to be
more than you are.

Take yourself,
planting feet
to then grow,

flourish,
dream, just

Be!

Perfectly said....yes, we need to open ourselves and be who we are meant to be! I love the Diminished Hexaverse style of this poem...it ends beautifully!
