This week's Poetry Bus has none other than the amazing TFE himself as its driver. Happy Birthday, TFE! He has asked us to sit quietly and breathe. Ah! A task I can handle! Below is my ticket poem and a wonderful painting entitled, Sophia, by Alex Grey. (Also, I have another PB ticket poem with the same title on my other blog HERE.)
Painting entitled 'Sophia' by Alex Grey from Google Images
Inspiration
With each cleansing breath
she inhales
aroma of the glow
releases
toxic confusion
breathes
purity of heart and mind
feels
the respiration move
through her body.
Through her brain
each thought
dances
to exotic rhythms
as her dream
evolves
from ache to inspiration.
Jeanne I. Lakatos 2011
I like this one a lot - inspiration really does feel like this sometimes - a whole body experience.
