Understanding the Flow, My Yearning to Write
I join the flow and opened, write,
and words like birds given flight, appear,
thoughts hatched and nurtured
create streams of movement,
as if meandering through life’s pages,
turning as ideas ignite in passion’s flame
and purpose finds them,
as all makes perfect sense.
This flow my muse, my inspiration,
opens my heart completely
and I’ve come to know ’tis not the flow
that writes but I alone,
inspired by what lays within,
a passage from my soul begins to speak,
and words form in beauty’s wake
to say what is needed.
In homage to my process,
I once believed the stream my master,
and I a vessel for its will,
but deeper I traveled to the core of me,
and within I learned the potential
we are all given,
to find that pure divine spark within,
and open our hearts to it profoundly.
I now know my essence,
the gift given in potential of expression,
and I simply open the door in discovery
and yield to my own self,
to share what lays innate within,
a reflection of the beauty
within which I reside,
a being of divine intention.
‘Tis not an ego speaking,
for that would surely taint my purpose,
just an acknowledgement
of our potential that yearns freedom,
and as I hone my art, to honor my gifts,
I become closer to that flow,
nearer to myself and life,
as understanding and wisdom seeks my heart.

Most expressive and beautiful. Loved this.
Glad you did Rasma. Take care.
That spark within has brought forth your truths and potential for works from who you truly are. Very nicely penned verse, Tony.
Much appreciated Phyllis, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
