Be inspired
I feel so affected by everything I see whether it be something on the news, a painting I saw, or something somebody said. Look at life through a lens of clarity look at everything as if you are seeing it for the first time.
Express yourslef by being yourself because as Dr Seuss wisely said:
“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
This is a poem I wrote a while ago abut it was my attempt at expressing my feelings. You must express yourself however you can- whether it be through an art or an action, in the way you speak, in the words you say or sing, dancing or acting- you all have talents, so use them and make a change in the world that you wish to see.
Mourning Light
Surreal visions swarm.
Histories relay like memories- almost psychedelic
And are huskily breathed; in harsh whispers
That harms some hearing.
Broken statues are drowsy from pain- no apothecary can deem remedy for.
Beaded eyes drip and ooze as open reservoirs that stain.
Old and lost-abandoned souls with no ship to catch; only fear to hold
These fools long gone played foul too fair.
Too timorous of maim.
Pulled under a blanket with no filter for light- spectrum lost of all it’s might
Toxins are used and drugged like that of absinthe and deceived.
No Wicca can counter it’s effects, we have no guise in hope
The life inside is suckled on like a mother to pain
The styx made no exception as the sirens lulled under; convincing in all unforgiving beauty.
The sky’s countenance wept grey amongst clouds
Clarity kindled from a frayed storm and all darkness gone apart from shadows that kiss our feet; the last vestige.
Our eyes are lightened with innocence; marks of cadency.
And now we are left blinded.
…In the harshness of this new mourning light
Yours hoping to make a change in the world
