Inspiration

What inspires you?
That is what she asked me
and honestly, I know and I don’t.
Sometimes I feel as if the poem was just given to me
and other times it feels like I have gone through
a long and difficult labor.
There are times that the inspiration just comes to me
from a photo, an image, a quote, or a question.
Sometimes it seems to come from within,  
from a memory that lived deep inside,
until now
and then like in the delivery room
I get into this spiritual position
and there is pushing and breathing
and ultimately it is born.
Other times,
it floats through my imagination,
begging for me to grab hold and
do something with it.
if not,
it is gone
and I back to waiting
for another source of
inspiration.

Being An Artist

Being An Artist

I love thinking of myself as an artist.
Being an artist
requires you to let go, let loose and just be.
when I write,
which is my medium,
I don’t think about my words,
I just write.
I am never sure what words will get typed,
but it is in the uncertainty,
in the midst of the journey
that the words come
and flow through me
like water in a stream.
it just comes, sometimes slower then others,
but they come.
Each day I have to give myself permission
to be an artist,
to say yes,
to let go
and to let the Ultimate
use me as the brush
with which it paints.
I may feel like an artist, but
it is more like I am the brush.

I am a poet

I started dreaming about
writing poetry again.
Then the critiques began
about my rhythm
topics,
and marketability.
Those messages are not of God.

God’s inspiration
Gave me eyes that could hear, and
ears that can see.
I learned to stay open.
I learned to watch life
I began listening to my heart
and soul
and the inspiration
which came to me.

As I opened my senses
my imagination flowed
with an uncertainty and
excitement I cannot explain.
what I do know is that
I am a poet.

Dancing with God

Life is like a dance.
God is my partner.
God makes suggestions
and I respond
it is a conversation
between the two of us
which is all about us

God is skilled,
if I have faith
then I do not have to guess
I just have to follow.

God’s timing is perfect.
so I just have to follow,
without doubt,
without fear,
without the desire to
change the dance.

Dancing with God
is about trust.
It is about
releasing anticipation.
It is about moving with
and matching the movements.
it is about maintaining balance
in my relationship with God

It is about following the signals
which God is giving me.
It is also about knowing that
God never forces me to follow.
That choice is always up to me.
