To Inspire A Soul
To Inspire A Soul
What can it take to inspire a soul
But a grouping of certain words.
It is simple and complex
How a sentence can reflect
The yearning to live we possess.
All our thoughts are so alike
That when spread out they are
We recognize ourselves in them.
There are books with stories
Full of images and wonders
And characters that make you think.
Their adventures you desire,
And their sayings you quote,
And the pages you digest like
turkey dinner on a holiday.
And the events that you read
Give you courage and a need
for fulfilling all your dreams.
What can it take to inspire a soul
But a grouping of certain words.
It is simple and complex
How a sentence can reflect
The yearning to live we possess.
All our thoughts are so alike
That when spread out they are
We recognize ourselves in them.
There are songs with lyrics
Full of sentiment and rhythm
And catchy tunes you memorize.
Genres you come to favor,
And old music is always better,
And the beautifully sung phrases
make you feel fully connected.
And to the beat you dance
Even if your moves are clumsy,
Because no one is around
And joy bursts in your chest
So you have to let it out somehow.
All it takes to inspire a soul
Is to share emotion and thought,
As we all have the same origin
Which we call love and light
Although at times we wear a mask,
We will always come back
