Creating You

Creating You Can a book change your life; Make you feel in a different way? Can it open up a world; That did not exist until that day? Can a poem heal your heart; As if the poet felt your pain? So you read it many times; But no two times was it the same? Can a painting make you dream; Of places you long to travel to? And make you appreciate the landscape; Of the world surrounding you? Can a song inspire a memory; From days of many years ago; And once again you find yourself; And your age no longer shows? Can a garden grow more than plants; Within the spirit eternal? Where what the gardener tends to; Is a harvest more internal. Can the beauty that you create; Develop into a spiritual journey? You may never truly know; Until you make it your decree.
