Poem: The Source of Your Power

-

To rest

To fill your empty cup
To connect with your inner voice

To focus your attention
To change your perspective
To talk with your Muse
Why must this be 'lazy'?

To restore your creative spirit
To begin again
To simply be
Because doing this makes you too powerful.

The ones who do come from the moral high ground and would not survive a single night. Your soul is already damned That is cold hard fact. What matters is what you make of your short existence in the limited time you are here. Will you be one of the forgotten?
