anything can be poetry if you're brave enough.
the world needs its story-tellers
dreamers
lovers
wordsmiths
artsmiths
quiet helpers
kindness-doers
flower-pickers
letter-senders
creators of all sorts
walks
shapes
& sizes.
If you are one of these
yield to yourself
& the creativity that lives
in you--
do not hold out the world.
for it needs your gifts
it needs your love
it is thirsty for your joy.
when birds sing
are they aware of their audience?
or do they simply sing
because they know they must?
be the bird you hear through your window
who doesn’t know you’re listening.
sing
not because someone is listening
but because you know you must.
you never know whose ears your song will reach
& you may never find out.
perhaps it is better that way.
