Fly above the waters of doubt
Don’t let them drown and destroy your dreams
Don’t let your fears hold you down
Soar to the brights skies beyond
Keep looking ahead
Gather your strength
Never give

Chance

Inspiration is an impulse to try something new.
A revelation that your life’s work isn’t through.
A thought that stimulates an action,
Spurring you by stimulating traction.
Arousing a notion, increasing your might,
Inspiration awakens you in the night
To new possibilities.
It’s the brainchild of capabilities.
A spark that lights a flame,
It changes the same, reorders the game,
Illuminates the path to find your muse,
Unleashing creativity without excuse.
It may come as a flash, creating a rumble,
Causing the mundane to fall and crumble,
Awakening a vision, encouraging a dream,
Inflating your diminished self esteem.
Often it’s a whim, a hunch, an insight,
An idea that seems to just sound right.
A brainstorm that threatens your complicity,
Calling you revive an old ability.
It motivates you to flights of fancy,
Soaring to heights that may be chancy,
Yet elevating you to live in rife,
And experience an enthusiasm for life!
Rhyme
Always
Keep looking up
Let your mind soar above
The obstacles you face below
Arise
The time has come for you
To seek new beginnings
And shake off your

Butterfly Cinquain
My mind wasn’t focused on You
Like a leaf in the wind
It swirled and twirled
And got carried away
To wander in places of doubt
Coming to rest on the fence of indecision
Caught in the fear of unknown
Where it began to wither away
Without purpose
Until the force of Your divine breath
Caused it to stir, awaken, and break free
To soar to higher places
And sit in the heavenlies
At Your feet
Soaking in the truth of Your word
Now it’s a mind renewed
To do good works
And walk in Your Spirit on earth
It no longer wanders aimlessly
Blown by winds of uncertainty
For it awaits resurrection
Where it will live forever
On the tree of life.
