I breathe in a poem
inhaling words and images
savouring the rhythm, colour, and aroma
flowing through lungs, heart, veins,
capilliaries and arteries.
I exhale the moment
and the poem,
it goes
free.

Shawn L. Bird 
I know the feeling all too well…It’s there one second, gone the next
Yes. 🙂 I had a great one brewing this afternoon, but I lost it. However, I got this one in its stead, so it all worked out.
funny…every time I lose one, I too, get another. Somehow though, the latter is never as good, to me, as the former.
But the former doesn’t exist, and the latter does. Is a dream better than reality? Only in imagination. You must embrace and celebrate the reality, and not grieve over lost dreams… It’s like the exchange student mantra: not better, not worse, just different.
Too true, and well said. It’s practicable advise!
Love it!
Thanks.
I love this! The visuals are amazing.
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
True! That’s why we stop eating or wakeup 3am and grab a pen.. 🙂
Wow, Thanks Shawn. I felt this one in my soul, breathed in its beauty and let it fly away with my breath! :
I’m glad you liked it.
Amazing!! It really does read free 🙂
Thank you
Stunning piece, Shawn!
Thanks Noora.
WHAT POEM? I MIGHT WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME FEELING
Nicely done.
Thanks!
Shawn, it seems that you have a lot of excellent work going on over seas. I can always appreciate someone who shares my affinity for poetry and writing. I am a bit new to the scene but am trying to just experiment with the art form, similar to how I work with visual art. Thanks for following my blog and looking forward to speaking with you more. Your book sounds pretty awesome. How did you get started with that one in regards to inspiration?
Thanks so much and be well.
Alexander.
I started writing, and it appeared. I kept writing, and it evolved. 🙂 If you read through Grace Awakening posts all the story is there. Perhaps this interview I did for a student in South Carolina is a good place to start: http://www.fc.sd83.bc.ca/~sbird/005A4B81-011F5300
Excellent. Thanks so much for this and for your reply. Always interesting to know what inspires and drives fellow creatives. Take care.
this is beautiful!
I’m glad you like it.
