Oh universe of creativity,<\/p>\n
of light and life that dwells in me.<\/p>\n
I see you out there vast and strong,
\nas curious as time is long.<\/p>\n
Through me you\u2019ll find a willing heart
\nto think and dream and do my part.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a writer through and through;
\nmy words are my gift to you.<\/p>\n
I judge them not but set them free,
\nlittle wisps of eternity.<\/p>\n
Please guide me as I find the strength to set aside internal restraints. I need the courage to challenge fear, that voice of doubt within my ear.<\/p>\n
Your beauty is a part of me; I honor that so let it be.<\/p>\n
