"There Is A Voice Inside Of You, That Whispers All Day Long,
"I Feel That This Is Right For Me, I Know That This Is Wrong."
No Teacher, Preacher, Parent, Friend Or Wise Man Can Decide
What's Right For You -
Just Listen To
The Voice That Speaks Inside."
"Draw a crazy picture,
Write a nutty poem,
Sing a mumble-gumble song,
Whistle through your comb.
Do a loony-goony dance
'Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been there before."
poems & illustrations by Shel Silverstein
Wonderful. Silverstein was a gem. Isn't it great that the world produces so many whose imaginations bring us joy and delight, happiness and smiles, laughter and reflection.
ReplyDelete@MikeB: thx - Yes, absolutely! Here's to those that encourage us to be silly and lighthearted!
ReplyDeleteI re-read the two poems above just now. Today, they really resonate with me. Guess I have been working too hard and need time to do nothing, or something (fun or silly) or maybe even to write something. Well, at least I have been working off and on to write a sonnet which I will send to YogaSavy's blog.
ReplyDeleteHi MikeB! We all need that ...I find I often get silly when I've been working too hard for too long!
ReplyDeleteAnd if/when you do write that sonnet- please consider to post the link here, so that others may visit at YogaSavy's blog to enjoy it too!
