tell a story about your day,
like a stream of light that had you swimming
for your life, away from the dark cloud

as it tried to hide the welts pending
to blush with red, is that a self inflicted hue,
or has some coward, done that to you,

write your way out, type the keyboard hard,
spell the word tunnel, and escape through
the opening, hoping, that the change will
stay and it won't close until you run head-             __
on into the light, that is waiting at the end.............(    )

some sound so sure sweet safe solid citizens,

yet stay inspired,
not in a rainbow and cotton candy dandy
with streamers falling long and landing
on your head as multicoloured hair,

my stuff,
yeah I have stuff,
making sure to bring
my self down,
to a puddle where
I might drown,
if I stay down there
long enough,
I use words and their double
meaning and edges,
throw myself
against the thorny hedges,
self esteem has bruises
deep, ....let me sleep
from sunset to sunrise
through the day,
no compromise.

I stay inspired,
by all of you that
place your vulnerability
place your brilliancy
place your life
moments

as an inspired observer,
stay inspired, read
(don't go anywhere without breathing out)

because then your body will make you breath in
what will you take to,
how will you make it,
who will shake, shake your world view,
for your sake,
letting you know we could not be here without you.

Stay inspired, I am not the only that needs you.
