For Inspiration.
When I think
of the life you lived
I find my inspiration:
to be bold
to laugh loudly
to care greatly
to trust a stranger
to fall in love
to paint with fingers
to expand my mind
to be a woman
to get lost in adventure
to try something new
to take a chance
to put on color
to smile widely
to be myself
to create a masterpiece
to start a following
to put flowers in my hair
to give my heart away
to live in the moment
to dance in the rain
to live a life worth envying
to explore my imagination
to seize the day
until the last breath escapes my weary lungs,
singing its final note of the lifesong
that was laid unto my heart as a newborn child
with first sights of this venomous world
that has shaken me to the bone in fear.
