Inspiration

Listen my poet, try to understand
Feel my breath as I whisper in your ear
I will try not to make a harsh demand

I will take you to places far and near
You can go places you have never been
Feel my breath as I whisper in your ear

Not listening would truly be a sin
Please do not ignore the message I bring
You can go places you have never been

Soar among the Eagles, let your soul sing
If you do it right, your words will survive
Please don't ignore, the message I bring

Through your writing you are truly alive
My gift your courage to do what you do
If you do it right, your words will survive

I am not a liar, I'll say what's true
Listen my poet, try to understand
My gift your courage to do what you do
I will try not to make a harsh demand
