I created an event on my Facebook FanPage called Request a Poem and asked friends to give me 5 words to inspire me and challenge me to write a poem from...my muse posted a comment that sparked this poem:
Love is a power That sets your mind On fire Lovesick sighs Thoughts And dreams Of forever Hope that it is returned In equal strength Of desire And tenderness Soul smiles Heart flutters Imagination unstoppable Hope soaring high And then if possible Even more When you feel the touch And know It is true It is shared It is everything! LOVE hakuna matata
it means there are no worries in Swahili it is a phrase the muse and I share when he reminds me not to stress to breath and not to worry to be happy when he says it i smile because i immediately begin singing Hakuna Matata in my head and thinking... "it's a problem free philosophy" but it WORKS because then I try NOT to stress and NOT to worry but rather to breath and to BE in the moment in the now without the worry AND with THE JOY you know it's a good idea... don't worry be happy! I look into your soul
and see a reflection of myself sometimes the similarities are difficult to see but it is truth that I see in you many parts of myself and through you and the experiences we share I find myself more and more I see that YES! like meets like and we grow better together through shared experiences hopes and dreams through the mirror reflecting you to me and me in you I find more of myself and I learn who I am who I am not and who I want to be thank you for being the light reflecting myself back to me and the mirror through which I SEE myself thank you for being with me and being my teacher my soulmate my FRIEND you are the muse
who inspires me to muse an amusing and sometimes deep search for creativity I am a muse as well as I amuse with words, ideas and musings of my spirit and my heart all inspired by the muse who showed me how to be my own muse I wrote this poem for my friend, my muse who has a harder time than most father's and I wanted him to know that SOMEONE knows and appreciates his struggles.
A Father's LOVE He is missing All the things We take for granted Every day. Kisses on the cheek A small hand placed in his I love you daddy! Snuggles in the bed in early morning. All the hugs and cuddles That make life with children A life of JOY He is far away from them Enduring heartache Every day While he tries to make a living Tries to make their lives better Their future brighter His choice is one Of deep love and commitment He has unbelievable faith That such separation will be worth it In the end He hopes his children Will one day Truly understand The sacrifice he has made The love he has for them That leaving them behind For any length of time Is not his first choice Nor really any choice at all But something he must do To provide a better life for them I applaud his strength To make the only choice he can To endure the ache To work as hard as he can To hope for some miracle To have faith in himself To know that someday Everything he is doing For his children, for his family Will be understood and appreciated. For those of you who have your father with you, remember once in awhile to show him appreciation for who he is and what he does with you and for you because some children have to endure long separations from theirs and it's not easy to miss your dad when he's gone.
