Channeling Inspiration from Nature

Feeling wrong

I am channeling Inspiration

I hear the bird that needs no sleep

I smell the honeysuckle that makes the path I walk sweet

My eyes marvel at the blues of the ocean

On my skin I feel the warmth of the sun

This unity reminds me that I belong.

(Inspired by Alexandria Manalo’s line “Channeling inspiration” from “Birdbath and Lanterns”)
