Brian Strand Poet Free verse

Poetic Happenings

Upon tiptoes
   I reach up to the skies
Stretch,stretch 
    beyond the everyday norms
the routines of life 
     that shackle my mind
crush imagination&
          and creativity

Begone
    boredom's barrier to the new
awake
     arise ideas&       fly free
on imagination's
 unfettered wings
blown to &forth
   settle where you will

Ignite inspiration's delight
tonight
release yearning
  quench the fire

be still.

Sara Kendrick September 2, 2021 at 1:07 PM I enjoyed reading this one. Yes, quench the desire to be still but sometimes we need to be still to take time to listen to what God wants us to hear. Thank you for dropping by my page. I tried to look up what you wanted me to hear but not sure it went where you wanted me to go. Read about it on my comment back to you.
