Inspiration in everything


the sound of the instruments pushing you forward the words expressed as a story through their movements lights shine, smile bright, crowd goes wild maybe it's the angelic tone of their voice or how they flow as graceful as rivers or the mood set by their second skin maybe it's the created reality of the props that make one feel as if they are in another world though your body may remain in this one a rush of adrenaline giving chills and goosebumps the sound of the rustling leaves making you stand still an illusion of fantasy playing in the dancing dappled sunlight lights shine, smile soft, wind blows calm maybe it's the angelic tone of the chirps or the rhythmic gurgle of a nearby stream or maybe it's the fresh dirt smell from a light shower maybe it's the warm feeling of watching the young explore the world for the first time while you've been here for years a filling sensation of peace leaving nothing but pure serenity the sound of sirens making your heart race a scene of the news cutting through a cartoon on for the kids lights shine, smile down, anxiety takes over maybe it's the ring of the bullets shot through the air or the fear that the bullet's home is someone sharing your colored skin or the rage at the audacity of the shooters while the children are out playing maybe it's the tiredness of your drunk relatives running out to join them see there's more than one way to start a fire, don't always need dry wood, use your voice as the foam and water push awareness higher, or simply get your emotions understood anything could be a reason

I'm really just enjoying life. Every experience can be something to write about, so that's what I try to do. I love animals, I love food, I'm a pretty happy soul for the most part. Not entirely sure what all to write here but Hello! To all that may read this XD.
