Inspirational poetry is just the thing to lift your spirits or rejuvenate your creativity.

Whispering Muse
Poetry is what in a poem makes you laugh, cry, prickle, be silent, makes your toe nails twinkle, makes you want to do this or that or nothing, makes you know that you are alone in the unknown world, that your bliss and suffering is forever shared and forever all your own. ~Dylan Thomas

Supernova
Once there was a star roaming the heavens; This star was cold, dark, with deep scars that cut through the surface and formed canyons and caverns rooted within.

Do what makes you happy Be on the edge of possibilities All things will be in harmony Empty your mind of all thoughts Be on the edge of possibilities

A Gift to Myself
In this moment I feel good about being alone. I feel optimistic and have a sense of possibility because I know deep passion and connection are out there. Being alone means that I am open to those experiences, I don't have to worry about missing out on them. Sometimes the loneliness feels unbearable, but in this moment I am accutely aware that my current condition is a neccessary prerequisite to the kind of conection I want to have with someone. It may feel easier to accept lesser forms of intimacy in the meantime, and as long as those forms don't tie me down, I see no harm in them. But having the knowledge that I am alone by choice so that I can be happier in the long run, brings its own comfort. I am choosing to be faithful to myself and my own spirit, drive, and intuition, rather than to another person. And I can't think of a better way of knowing myself.

Most Days
Sometimes anxiety and depression come back. They arrive, and slap you up the face, reminding you that, in times of weakness, physical tiredness or emotional fatigue, they will sneak up, and slither into your mind, infecting all self worth. I keep reminding myself to 'ride it out', because it will pass. It may take some time, but it will pass.
