inspiration poem

the trick, or should I say, skill, technique, quirk,

to life

is to keep living, keep going, never stopping,

even if

life

feels like it's pushing you down, holding you back,

that's life

living is a verb, giving up is a verb of inaction, don't

let life

ruin your spirit...good days come and go like the winds

like life

in the desert comes and goes, so too do the bad days

in life

Whether it's a serious problem or a blip, weather those storms

that life

throws at you, and make time for peace and reflection

when life

offers a reprieve, and if it doesn't take one

because life

is more than just grey days and holidays, it's the in between

for life

is the journey rather than the destination or the celebration

life

is everything

all you see, all you smell, touch and taste

all you feel, experience, go through, get over

the people you love, the ones you lose

the sunrises, the sunsets
