Posted in Unspecified

Specific Inspirations    (dedicated to Mrs Bower)

When you tell me that i matter,
I know that I'm important

When you tell me "I Believe,"
I know I can.

   When you held up the Apple
    a single bite was all it took
    to form a specific inspiration
    to just believe in something.

When you told us we would travel,
I knew I could go far;
these specific inspirations
that lead a heart to Good.

    It never has to be much--
     just a little bit will do;
    sometimes even the simplest words
    will set the course to pull us through.

And sometimes going far
doesn't mean a big house,
and a nice car.

Sometimes going far means
setting your course to change the lives of others,
to keep them from going ajar

They are specific inspirations
that make us who we are.

    Through life these specific inspirations
     that we remember in a blip
    will open certain doors
    not everything is roses
    not everything thorns,
    but each door that is opened,
    each keyhole to unlock, leads us to specific options

    The options to remember those specific inspirations,
     to use them and define them for ourselves
     to do the things of good
     or do the things of bad.

So far this path that I have set upon
is neither specific nor straight
but one thing is specifically certain:

    I remember "specific"
    and I have chosen;
I don't have that big house
and i don't have that nice car

            but,

I have talked cats off of walls
and I've built flaming pyres
in the darkness of others;
And i have found that something to believe in
because of these specific inspirations--

I have found my hope
I have found,
my far...
