inspiration
My Poem “Open to interpretation”
When a writer writes something, that is just the beginning... after a writer shares what they have written and takes it beyond the limits of their own eyes only, that is when things truly get exciting... when a writer first gets an idea they never truly know what it will ultimately come to be... when a writer uses their gift and naturally infuses a part of themselves into whatever they have written or are writing they always leave something that they may not have planned for their readers to read. When a writer let's there words go they can have no idea by whom, when, nor where their art will be enjoyed - and there is no knowing why, nor how, their words will touch a reader and inspire their dreams as they lie asleep in bed... when a writer first puts pen to paper, or finger to key, they must resist any and every thought that might occur to them in which they might attempt to cross out, erase, or delete something of them that they felt had to be said. When a writer creates something of their own heart, mind, soul, and imagination there is always an exchange of energy that takes place that can cross time and distance instantly... even if the first intention of a writer after a while becomes like that of a whisper, the first spark of inspiration that brought an idea to life will always be there to be felt, read, heard, seen, and like the world of a dream open to interpretation.

My Poem “Down Time”
What do you do when you have not got anything to do? Where do you go when you have not got anywhere to go? How do you spend the time you have that has not already been allocated to doing things like chores, commitments, family, shopping, or work? If you have the opportunity to do what you want what do you choose? Something that will make time go by fast, or something that will make time go slow? People who have an incredibly busy and frenetic work day may choose to spend their time off resting their feet, switching off their mind, while listening to music, while reading books, while playing games, or while watching films or something on TV, as they engage in escaping from reality. People who spend their time in their professional life perhaps wearing a uniform, or a shirt and tie from the hours of 9 to 5, might be among those inclined to do things that take them out of their comfort zone and push their senses and their instincts to the limit... people who don't get to do any physical activity during their working week might get up on a weekend morning and immediately feel drawn to go to the gym, to go for a bike ride, or to go for a walk or a run just so they can feel the exhilaration of revitalising their body, their mind, and their spirit. For some people, when they have time to spare, they like to bond with their family while doing something that love to share, whether that is an indoor or an outdoor activity - however just as long as they are within close proximity to one another and having fun that is all that matters and even if it is raining they would rather be with who they want to be with, where they want to be, and doing what gives their life meaning... for some people the moments when they are not thinking about others are few and far between, and that is why they do not get the chance to close their eyes and think about what they might want to do for themselves - but even those people who work all hours that God sends in order to provide for their family do find brief seconds and minutes to make the most of the gift of some "down time" which always picks them back up again.

My Poem “Taken”
Over the years I have taken people on a journey with me... over the years I have literally held the hand of people and guided them to places and to things that are important to me... over the years I have told people things that only they would know about me... over the years I have opened the mind of people to what is impossible, and I too have been fascinated by what happens when there is a coming together of many feelings, emotions, colours, and expressions of what makes a difference to the way that people live, love, think, and believe. Over the years I have always been someone who goes that extra mile... over the years I have always been someone who would rather leave a lasting impression in the form of a smile... over the years I have always been someone who would spend time doing something that I knew in the long run would be worthwhile... over the years I have always been someone who knew that there was always more to be known about the substance of something or someone rather than their style. Over the years I have felt drawn to things, to places, to people from the moment that I have awoken... over the years I have felt as if I am only able to keep ahold of some things for a short amount of time before they are forsaken... over the years I have felt found, abondoned, made whole, and then broken... over the years I have felt and I have seen change happen right in front of me, I have experienced the arrival of hope and joy before my eyes, I have made the most of every moment that I have been given and I always try to return the favour of whatever or whomever I meet wherever I find myself being taken.
