When I leap - Thursday poem

'When I leap

When I leap

nobody needs to creep,

deep,

into hide,

just smile at the bright

side 

of life,

try to smile with me,

even you do not agree

and still you can feel yourself an inside urge

to splurge,

into your own potential

living the essential.

So, when I leap

 please do not creep

deep

inside

into hide,

just let yourself be inspired

and use my courage if yours is expired,

just jump out of the nest

and let life open its chest

of wonder,

not afraid to blunder,

just spreading your arms 

until it charms

your soul and heart,

to become a part

 of being alive,

get out of hamster-wheel-drive

and just dive,

in abudance

and dance,

however you need to,

whatever rhythm is true

and fly through blue

grey and foggy sky,

do not imply,

life just has mean ways

just watch how it sways,

you along

into a song,

where your heart, soul, body and being belong.

So, next time I leap,

please keep,

all this energy I share

because I care,

just use it aware,

for yourself

being an elf,

leaping,

heaping,

of refreshing new

to be you.'
