What inspires me?

Erica asked this so i figured i'd try
and answer it...
jeez idk a LOT of things do

Beauty
but not like fake,
supermodel
beauty
I'm talking
eyes that sparkle
without rims of black
smothering them

The hills in the summer
they roll on
gently swelling and receding
sometimes swinging up high
a mountain
reaching for the heavens

The snow
even though its SO cold
and i HATE winter...
it's so white
and fluffy
i don't know how
you could NOT be inspired by it

or the trees
in the fall
the crimsons and fiery golds
meeting the evergreen leaves
and an occasional splash of brown
the dead leaves.
but without the dead leaves,
there's no brown
so you need the dead leaves
to complete the circle.

The sunset
sending rays of colors
everywhere the sun touches
when the clouds get in the way
they too glow with it's warmth
instead of smothering the light
as they otherwise would

Rain
I have said this SO many times
but
i
love
rain.
Everything about it
i love standing in the rain
getting drenched
just not caring

Some PEOPLE inspire me

watching them swing high on the hoop
their hair falling around their face
arms out wide
not knowing
how amazing it really is

watching them struggle on
through all the shit in their life
trying to put it behind them
but slapping on a brave face
so the world might not suffer
taking it all on her shoulders

watching them
always be there
for anyone
especially me,
when there was no one else
she deserves more credit

watching them
be happy
laughing their way through anything
lifting peoples spirits
so that they might come through as well

You know the one thing i wish i could do?
ironically, it's the one thing I'll NEVER be able to do.

I wish I could paint.

i would paint
the rolling hills
the sunsets
the snow
the rain
the fall trees
the REAL beauty

i would paint
the hoop
the cuts
the love
the happiness

i would paint it all.

Unfortunately, i have no artistic ability
whatsoever.
My drawings and paintings
are stick figures
with heads as big as their bodies
but whatever.

eventually, ill find SOME way
to express all that
Not that i have any idea how...
but i guess it'll come to me

What inspires you, Erica?
