You Inspire Me

 

You inspire me,
to learn to grow
to extend the little knowledge I know
to read to dream to plan to the extreme
to aspire to achieve to hope to believe,
you inspire me in ways I never dreamt but always wished I could be
you push you taunt you show up in my dreams you haunt me
to inspire me,
you inspire me to want to read to sing to write a whole other dictionary
to make words so fine so rich so productive it wills me to live
just to say to talk to let the silkiness of letters combining forming words makes me want to breathe harder faster stronger
makes my days my desire so much longer
so I have more daylight time to write to read to say things no one before thought  to say to speak
you inspire me till my head wants to explode till my knees can’t stand the load and grow so weak,
you inspire me,
to new heights to new depth to live to laugh to smile to evade or embrace death
to live free to love me to bask  in the warmth of the ones or one who admire me
to walk on the wire to  dance on fire to fit finally into what is required
you inspire me.
