Inspiration Strikes!

Well, not so much of a strike as a leisurly stroll.....but still. It's here, and that is the important thing. And what, you may ask, brought along this inspiration at last? In short, the best weekend I've had.....well, ever.


First off, I have the entire weekend off, which is very, very rare. Second, I got to spend plenty of time with my amazing boyfriend and my awesome friends. Friday was dinner at my house. I made lasagna...successfully...thank goodness. I recieved two beautiful surprises from Jonathan. A gorgeous boquet of sunflowers and roses, and an even more gorgeous peridot necklace. Complete a perfect night with a viewing of the Labryinth....hey, no great evening is complete without David Bowie, right?


And then today we took a trip to the zoo. I haven't been since I was young, and it was the perfect day for it. It was the first day of spring, and the weather was cooperating beautifully. I was even inspired to write the first poem I have written in months. And here, my friends, it is. Don't be too terribly harsh...as I said, it's the first thing I've written in a long while.




The Nature Of You


The world in your smile,
The sky in your eyes.
The breeze in your fingertips,
As they whisper by.

The warmth of the sun
Wrapped up in your arms.
The green of the grass
Reflected in your charms.

The smell of the spring
Surrounding us two.
Loving every minute
The nature of you.
