Notes About The Poem

 

 

This Poem I wrote was used as the script for a commercial. They found me right here on poetrysoup. Greatness in the cards for us all. Sometimes we even get to lick the icing.

 

Please push the link below to watch the Commercial. I think they did an amazing job with my words.

 

Good Afternoon Maurice -

 

We wanted to make sure you got to see the final video we created with your poem as the script!

We hope you love it as much as we do! 

 

 

The Icing

FOUNDATION

“...we achieve true wholeness
by embracing our fragility...”

Jalaja Bonheim


FOUNDATION

i had
no script

no actors

no stage

instead let me direct this life

my life

stage the words

add a subtle dramatic  tone
with fragility

once the foundation is built

 i'll work on emotional recall

work in the layers

does it sing

does it dance

does it make you think

does it make you feel

you can design the most beautiful building in the world
but with no structure it will not stand

for this one i start with the word

"I"

yup that’s a keeper 

next go out on a limb

"Love"

it can't be all about me

so i finish 

with "You"

yes you

‘what happens when you open your heart?,
your inner strength becomes an outer foundation.’
