Sometimes
You need to just sit
Pondering
Not doing
Waiting for inspiration
To bring something
Shadorma
“Ah yes, doing nothing often leads to the very best of something” —Pooh
(I was so inspired while watching the movie “Christopher Robin” recently! I loved the story and found myself pausing the DVD many times to write down various quotes of things that Pooh said. One such quote inspired this poem 😊)
Imagine a life
Without time
Envision heaven

#iartdaily Day 6 Prompt: Envision
Inspiration came
Creativity flowed
Time disappeared
Syllabic Verse
I got the name “Doing Den” from the creators of #iCreateDaily at http://www.icreatedaily.com
I joined their Facebook Group where they post a Prompt a day for 90 days. Today’s Prompt was :”Time disappears into space” which inspired me to write this poem.
#iartdaily
It came creeping
In the dark night of my soul
Fear over shadowed
Covering like a thick fog
I lay paralized
Frozen in its doubt and dread
Until a shaft of hope
Broke through the darkness bringing
Strenght to rise and overcome
Choka
“When you face fear it evaporates. Shadows cannot stand light. —LeAura Alderson
This quote by LeAura is very true.
And this poem I wrote today is written from one of my true experiences with fear. We must face our fears and when we do they will dissipate.
Shakespeare also said it well:
“Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.”
(This quote has also helped me to face fears many times in my life.)
Stand still and you will see
The salvation of the Lord
Don’t look back, look at Me
Stand still and you will see
Deliverence! Free you’ll be
From that chronic pursuing hoard
Stand still and you will see
The salvation of the Lord
Triolet
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. Exodus 14:13
What calls for your attention
In the dark and dreary night,
Or in morning’s light of day?
What is it that reaches forth
To capture your attention
On an ordinary day?
Grasp it, and record its birth
Within your mind, hands and heart.
Detail it in an artform
To share with all the world.
Syllabic Verse
“Art is born in attention. Its midwife is detail.”
~Julia Cameron, American artist, author and teacher
I Create Daily Art Challenge Day 2:
Prompt: What does attention reveal
Reaching for the stars
Running towards New Year dreams
Jumping over fears.
