Poetry that inspires
Poetry that inspires
In fleeting time, a moment we possess,
to turn our dreams into pure happiness;
The sun may rise and set a thousand ways,
but now's the hour to bloom, to truly bless.
—-
A spark within, a flame that dares to rise,
against the darkest night, it softly burns;
And though the road be long and filled with sighs,

A Toast-- To What Inspires Me Most
Feelings fill the page
but can confound the sage

When I In Silent Moments Ponder Life
When I in silent moments ponder life
And think of all the suffering I see,
I can’t but weep because of all the strife,
And wish for how this thing and that should be.
But in so wishing all the more my pain
Increases still as though to test my will--
How far I’d bear this grief yet to retain
A sense

Pegasus Inspires Me
Pegasus symbol intrigued me as a child, maybe it was fate.
Loving it without knowing Greek mythology or the story behind it.
There was something about Pegasus that made me feel great
Inspiration for artists makes sense as I create projects with daily wit.
He also gives power to heroes, so that fits in well too.
Heroes are everywhere,

Trying To Clean Inspires Me
Nothing inspires me more to paint or pen
Than trying to clean
I despise everything about cleaning
I would rather be pushed into a canyon
With five hundred hungry salivating wolves
Than pick up a dust rag
Proof of this could be seen yesterday
When I ran over and wrote “clean me”
with my finger in dust on the table in the living

Hope Inspires - 2
Hope came to life inside my soul
When I realized I’d been saved to the uttermost
By the One who lived then died on a tree
So that I could know Him as the light of love
Who shines bright, destroying every fear in my heart
Hope awakened a joy within my spirit
When I comprehended the news that I was

Darkness Inspires the Light's Desires
You cannot have happiness,
Without sorrow in your heart.
You cannot live a great life,
Without first falling apart.
You cannot find an ending,
If you never even start.
You cannot find the light,
Without walking through the dark.
This is where the line lives,
Between the living and the dead.
You have to breach them both,
Or you'll always be in your head.
Life will always

Like the Muse, Rose Inspires His Songs
I.
Like the muse, Rose inspires his songs;
and breathes into his gloomy lines
her tender love, which rhyme prolongs.
Like the muse, Rose inspires his songs,
like verse free of errors or wrongs
that sweetly flows like fine, aged wines.
Like the muse, Rose inspires his songs;

Sun Inspires
ultramarine unfathomable sky, with a hue of gorgeous crimson from the east,
sometimes just hint of a dazzling mystifying dot,
a red dot on the forehead of an enchanting woman

You and I
You entered my life,
Like a person with unknown vibe.
You are there, I am here,
Like to seperate Heaven's lover.
You feel lonely rare,
but I feel it ever.
You haven't seen me near,
But I always have the care.
You know you are,
I know you are,
But who know where we are!
Where we are!

The Pink Moon Inspires Lunancy
The Pink Moon Inspires Lunacy
On a moonlit night
The Pink moon
Shone casting a baleful light
On the world below
A man sat drinking
In a depraved bar
In an evil part of the city
Drinking up a storm
With his buddies
Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels
Jim Beam, and Mr. Evan
And Old Granddad looked on
Encouraging him to drink
One scotch, one bourbon, and one beer
He

Everyone Inspires Me
Helen Reddy, Cher, Bette Midler, Tina and Reba have all inspired me
Showing me women can be more than I thought women could be.
I am inspired by Adam Lambert and his predecessor Freddy Mercury.
They are both not afraid to live their lives, and be all that they can be.
Inspired by singers, dancers, Jennifer Lopez, and friends
