This poem is sort of a tribute to all the people, places, songs and ideas that have inspired me throughout the years. Some are direct quotes, others more abstract.
#acrostic Really. There's a God.
#acrostic R eligion & faith aren't the same thing, E vangelists preach while saints sing. L osing sight of why we are here, I n rules where the bigotry is clear.

It's written in the sky with clouds. It's written in a child's smile. It's written in the flowers too. It's written in the morning dew. It's everywhere you choose to see.
The stars in the sky. The earth below. The sea so deep. The flowers grow. The fire in flame. The ice so cold. The animals new. The trees so old. The sunset beauty. The shining cats eye.
Here's my own take on the word I chose, and I'm thoroughly enjoying reading through all of your exceptional pieces :D Much more than you've ever been able to say, Even more than you've said after...

#acrostic Most of all I miss the Exciting times we had. Laughing at all the jokes we made, Although it now seems sad.
#acrostic - don't know what happened with this one lol ☺ M oonlight comes way too soon E ntrapping me with so much gloom L acy fingers in the sky A nd I'm wondering why why why.
I think its funny how connected i feel. How i know none of you for real. But yet you feel like family. Like nothing id ever leave.
M aybe one day I'll understand, but E verything just looks so damned L onging for a better plan, but A nother wall between me stands N ever achieve these hollow dreams C hase forever but...
Listen children listen well. To a story I shall tell. We hurt our Mother Earth you see. And now the world is crumbling. Acid rains fall from from the skies. The burn of the clouds stinging cries.
I found God in the arc of a banana peel Released from my hand Pitched perfectly into the garbage bin on the kitchen floor.
You made me Fabricated me slowly From the scraps on the floor Through your care Your infinite attention And your problematic mind I became one being One person Through you I became me You shaped me...
There are things that I have done and things I have undone. There are people that I have won and others who were just gone. There are times when I run and times where I stare at the sun.
With a flick of its mane . It lept through the sky . Right over the moon . And the stars so high . It's tail was a rainbow . Of gold and of fire . With a single whinny . It helped me and inspired .
This is one of my favorite books by Dr Seuss. I chose some parts from the book to share with you: "You have brains in your head.
#acrostic Maybe there is an explanation, You all seem to demand one, Seeing all these mysterious signs, Trying to spoil the fun.
Opussia you're really great I confess I'm an addict doesn't matter if my work is late I can always ad lib it. I love to immerse myself in rhythm and rhyme. i mean it counts as english revision right.
