A father who worked at the zoo was given two eggs so he took them home to his twin daughters. Once the birds had grown, Sarah let hers go because she wanted her bird’s beauty to be displayed for all to see. On the other hand her sister, Simone kept hers locked in a cage, in the house; because she always wanted to see its beauty. Who are you, Sarah or Simone? The destiny of these birds isn't evident at that moment. Sarah’s bird could be shot and killed or it could go fly and reveal its beauty for the world to see Simone’s bird could be well kept after, yet never freed.
...words move me
Words move me to a point that when I utter them I have the ability to move others. The first time I recited a poem I was 14 years old I was shocked at how good I was and how easy it came to me to manipulate words to invoke emotions in people. From that point, I knew that I was good. Yet just knowing that you are good is not enough to make you great. Everyone has something placed inside of them, which if seen or heard will ignite great things in other people. There may be something that you do that moves people, identify it and sharpen your sword.
One of the main reasons that I started this blog was my need to release my poetry. I write, I write when happy, when sad when inspired; I write. You know that question... if your house were to burn down and you were given the opportunity to get one thing, what would that thing be? Well, my one thing is my file, with my poetry and other pieces of writing in it. That file inspired this blog, you see as deep and personal as it may be I believe it’s to be shared. I wanted to let my bird fly. There is such great freedom in sharing your heart because “as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people do the same”(Marianne Williamson). It is a scary thing to do; you worry about what other people will say or how they will respond to your bird. In reality, not everyone will like what you have to give nor will they necessarily like you but, that is no reason to keep that bird caged.
...what moves you?
