We are each creative in our own personal and unique manner. It requires a mindful, contemplative approach to life to allow us to see ourselves as the poets, authors, and artists of our lives. It is in those gaps between the stimulus or gift we receive and the response or offerings we return to the world. The world and universe surround and envelope us in its richness. We pause and realize our world, its gifts, and our opportunities. It is in those pauses we refresh and create.
We journey
We occasionally pause
Muse a moment…
Soak in the world…
In so many ways;
Our hearts touched.
Its sounds–
A luxuriant symphonic backdrop;
A barely audible sigh;
Scarcely heard
Always there
A gentle pulse.
Its sensual touch–
Soft caresses…
A tender lover
It embraces
Wraps us in its arms
A safe place.
Its smells
Drift on a breeze
A rare restaurant
A delectable menu
Its richness
Appetites soothed.
Its sights
Visually adorn nature’s wall
Blend colours and materials
Masterpieces hung
Set upon the mantle
Shaped from nature’s gifts.
The world expresses itself;
Not in words
Yet, as a poem
We are each poets
Served and serving
We craft a life.
