Power can be an awe inspiring word or it can be intimidating. What power do you have? What power do you wish you had? What power have you given away? What does the word 'power' mean to you? Write a poem with power as the theme and see where it takes you.
At one time I had no power
ReplyDeleteit made me sad, quiver and feeling
lonely up in my tower.
I would not talk or share
my thoughts or feelings
I simply did not care.
Inch by inch I kept moving
to music, film never losing
the inner me
enjoying all the world could offer
even though fear
was ever so near.
I saw great art
in movies, on walls
in theatre and sought
more and more until
fear, like the falls,
washed away my tears.
I heard the birds sing!
My power is me to bring
all the joy I deserve and more.
what was before
is now the past
it does not last,
but power is my new tower
of hope like a
beautiful flower
OK I just went with it off the cuff:) Now if only I could wiggle my nose and travel to Paris
