Born to shine

�The universe is a mirror that reflects to us what we are�- Carl Jung

Born to feel the winds

To hear the rain

To play with fire

To paint, think, write

We don’t need to be trapped

In a self tortured prison

Inside a squeezed heart

Chained with endless orders

Targets, marks, definitions…

Before being anything else

We are children of the universe

 

Born to be free

Not to be afraid of liberty

Depending on definitions

On others preconceptions

On money,

Status,

Power

Or drugs,

Guns and orders

Coming from above!

 

Born to shine

Don’t blow out the flame

The fuel of life

No matter the obstacles

No matter the challenges

Think, reflect

Share your internal light

Play and laugh

Opening your arms

Embrace the entire world

Explode with passion

Into emotions of love!

 

Born to be alive

Through out our entire being

Physical, mind, soul

Gallop like an untamed horse

Wild as a comet crossing the sky

Moving beyond dreams

Growing, expanding

Into beautiful feelings!

Have the courage

Take the responsibility

To be different, unique

Assuming the adventure

To be as wild as all nature

Embrace the liberty

That will make you shine

Like any other star

Scintillating in the night!

A beautifully penned piece. You do have a way with words. Well done Poet well done!

[Michael X]

the imagery of splendor, your words cut staright to the heart of the vision, i love the highly
descriptive terms you use, as the reader can feel the emotions you are conveying at height,
you have such a way with words and thought, as poetry justifies your imagination,
a breathtaking look into the stars of knowledge, beautifully invented.

[Morning Song]

And you, dear Angi, were born to spread sunshine on our days, and bring us your beautiful words that ring with the spirit of freedom and light. And I'm going to celebrate the day of your birth, because that's the day God smiled down on us and brought us such a beautiful spirit filled with love and wisdom.

Big hugs...

"Targets, marks, definitions� "

Sometimes, it feels as if that is all we are. At least, to ourselves.

We should be the last to buy into our own self image.

Nice piece.

Great message. Empowering piece. My favorite line:

" Before being anything else
We are children of the universe"

very deep in its meaning.
