Words of Advice Indeed To Heed Regards Ll

I have come to trust in Leanne advice
because it comes with great intention
and from the heat

And as recently as today she said

Like a graffiti artist who sprays his
wares onto an empty canvas

If your chosen art form be poetry
and the written word

Then spit , stick and pin whatever
comes into your mind you deem
worthy of screaming about onto
your wall of choosing

If not for anyone else but you
yourself and you 

And if by chance some passing stranger accidentally stumbles 
across it and in so doing takes 
solace from it

Then surely this is the answer you seek
to the question

First and foremost do it for
for yourself and the shear love thereof 
and if it touches the life of someone else
then so much the better

Because unbeknownst to you in so doing
you may be fulfilling your destiny
and the very reason you we're put on this earth
for in the first place

That being to save someone from themselves
they would never even know or get to meet

Who could just as well easily be a close
family member friend or neighbour you
never even knew was struggling or in a
dark place

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Beautiful Flaherty! x It's a "kind madness" to write poetry for yourself and see it hits the heart of others ... or ruffles feathers to fly. The trick is to drown the sound of carping crows and feral rats out and listen to your own voice and those who have something worthy to share...It all comes back to Love. Love, Leanne. Keep spitting your balls at the wall ... xxx
