Be Bop!

Inspired by Merton & Dave

lose yourself 

like a ballerina 

spinning atop a pin prick 

allowing the natural flow to win 

find yourself 

like the sun through the parting clouds 

on a late in season 

monsoon day 

know yourself 

for there ain’t one other soul 

who cares enough about you 

except you 

to know you 

as much as you can - or do

know yourself 

inside out

outside in 

like a ballon being blown 

with the breath (of life) 

only to be deflated to start over again 

know yourself 

it’s liberating! 

especially if you are the balloon that squeals upon deflation 

even better if you are the balloon that bobs 

this way and that when let go 

know yourself even when you are a spent balloon, deflated to a crash landing 

• plop right on the floor!

Get up so  you can …

be yourself 

you are beautiful 

you are unique 

you are the sperm that won the race 

cherish that 

grab the trophy 

you - yourself are perfect 

godammit - yes you are

when all is said and done

BE!

Wonderful poetry shared my friend.
"be yourself
you are beautiful
you are unique
you are the sperm that won the race
cherish that
grab the trophy
you - yourself are perfect
godammit - yes you are

when all is said and done"
I agree with the above lines. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

We leave some. We lose some. It's ok to squeal, to waver and bob. It's just another lovable, vulnerable part of me. It's me and I love me and everything is forgiven. Unconditional, endless love is what I feel for me. Thank you for this awesome poem.
