Lyrical Longings

I’ve been resting up and listening to my body of late as I am still fighting off a nasty cold. So instead of plotting out my next post, I have been on a meandering of sorts – through the intricacies of the internet. And I have stumbled across an unexpected gem. A re-ignition of a long lost passion. An all-in appreciation of words for their “lyrical lucidity”.

Poetry

Not since high school have I really read words for their simple beauty. I love words – reading and writing them – but usually in the form of books (non-fiction & fiction) or blog posts and sometimes the lyrics to songs. But poetry is not about the story or the music – it is a message straight to your soul that connects and leaves you changed – sometimes inspired, and often yearning.

In all definitions of the word Poetry, there is always the inclusion of the word “Beauty”. And in the treasures I have discovered, I am left with such an appreciation for the beauty of life – no matter the subject matter or the emotions being conveyed.

So today I thought I would share with you a poem that sent sparks straight to my soul and left me changed, definitely inspired and certainly yearning. A poem about something I already feel impassioned about – Shining your Own Light.
