Inspire me, admire me...

motivate me to reach higher than average set mentalities

understand my story

and then maybe you'll accept my quest

not merely dreams but

visions unraveling with the executions of chess

refuse to play

or fall victim to the role of woman in distress-

expect to be treated with respect and nothing less

aggresively seek the ways of securing triumphant days

as I navigate the world's complex maze

I'll inspire you,

if you serve to be my intimate form of muse...

surrendering to my cores truce

take great pride of dilution I posses inside

as I am not distracted by the woes of life

seizing to "I am" for what transpires

inspire...

The Invitation

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love,
for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn' t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow
if you have been opened by life's betrayals
or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own
without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful,
be realistic or to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithful and therefore be trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty every day.
And if you can source your life from Gods presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, Yes!
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire
with me and not shrink back.

It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
