Life is Poetry

 

Life is Poetry, think about it for a minute...

Lifes meaning is different to each of us. We all live a poetic life,in repitition, in structure, in expression. Just like poetry dissecting the hidden meanings behind the most beautiful words. Every situation we go through, whether pleasant or totally agonizing. We have to go step by step to get to the otherside. Like a poem, to get to the true meaning you have to read, word for word. Take it all in, feel, visualize, understand and get to the otherside with new thought, new inspiration, new forsight. 

Yesterday I had to walk. Now, if there is one thing I hate most it's walking. Funny enough I am scared of driving. Nontheless I had to take a 20 minute walk into town, immediately my anxiety is peaked, my irritation, slowly turning into rage. Greeting my fur baby on the way out, I decided to look around this time. Look at the trees, the birds, the people. I decided to take in the smells and the sounds. Recently I have not been aware of my surroundings, as if living on auto-pilot. I can say as write this, I am grateful. It was a warm autumn day and the breeze was refreshing. The leaves rustling on the road was almost melodic, I heard three different type of birds sing for the first time in how long!

While on this walk with new inspiration creeping in, I had a thought. that life is poetry and it is beautiful. Do not get me wrong I am not the happiest person, joy comes and goes. Struggles seem to cling too me but though there is hurt, stress, inferiority, mental health issues and whatever else that weighs us down daily. Life is beautiful, as beautiful as poetry, life is as beautiful as a seasoned painters best work, life is a song that must be sung and a story that must be written. 

In all things find the beauty. In all things find the poetry. 

Smile again

Little blue bird made me smile again
A sweet reminder of life 
A sweet reminder of living

Little blue Bird made me smile again 
A kind reminder of being
A kind reminder of beauty
