Poem: You Can Be Happy If You Want

I want to be alone.

I want to say out loud how I am feeling.

I want to do this in only one place.

I decide to walk to a hidden lake.

Poem: Fanning the flame within

You have it.

You know it’s there.

That spark of inspiration.

That flame of passion.

That energy that smolders at times

But other times climbs to high heights.
