Diamonds of Inspiration

Those eyes of yours Holding a bunch of blue sky Have been inspiring me lifelong To seek rhyme and song In turbulence A Buddha like balance Then you, the sceptic Always asking 'What is your view?' Almost like Socrates Never readily conforming to Any set thesis Would open a sky Asking why this Why not that To discover a new door to stand at Thus you wanted to groom us: 'Cogito ergo sum' I think, therefore I am Relaxing my diaphragm And now in the twilight I look at My too many windows to look out For a new sprout I thank you there Among the twinkling stars And you young girl How soft suave but yet straight Is your speech While we screech at a little conflict Raising ugly forms Ignoring norms of civilization You are always low but firm Polite but powerful I try to be like you In my communications In interrelations A grandfather trying to emulate a granddaughter Life is a great assorter And there you The oranges in the tree The beauty spree The life and lyre free Have inspired me To stay happy Even in despondency Then you The beggar in the street A lesson for survival Never say yes to defeat You have to first sleep and eat Then towards other vitals You the whore Drifting from shore to shore Embracing sort of death For the sake of life Tiny shines of strife Where ever you look at life With a childlike interrogation With a touch of admiration Will come across In a session Diamonds of inspiration ___________________________________________________ 3/1/2017 : Contest: Who has inspired you most in your life Sponsor: Brenda Chiri-Carroll

Diamonds of Inspirations in people and even in nature. A warning to the wayward one "and you the...drifting...embracing death"! All this is a true expression of life and lifestyles. Congrats on your POTD. Enjoy your day. Rainbow.

Thinking more about "Life is a great assorter" - it's what evolution does, it's what pain does, sends us one way, groups us, selects us, separates us, has us meet others similar to us.

Right, Doug ... It is life and how we observe life, these two inspire us to grow intellectually ... at least I feel so ...
