From the Trees

‘About Inspiration’

Inspiration comes from the trees
When one thing dies, something else begins.
The race was never about who wins,
Just about who participates.

A fire started cannot be stopped
Unless the heart of it ain’t strong
Or the heart of the world is stronger in
Extinguishing it.

And the world will rarely extinguish a fire that has heart.

Inspiration comes from the stars,
They tell you exactly what you are.
A diamond hidden in the rough,
Made beautiful by fire.

A trial surpassed will not be waste.
Whether you start early or you start late,
A scar that is gained, heals and strengthens
the mind it is etched upon.
