A forest grows in each of your hearts -
Creative canopies stretching up high,
Nurturing saplings of your unique art,
And vivid colours reflected in your eyes.
Can you see your voice in those dancing hues,
Taste its messages waiting to be spoken,
Feel its fiery rays shine through your sinews
And your very soul bursting wide open?
So pick up your pen and write a river,
Let the ideas flow from your inmost depths.
Each sound weave into the deepest azure
That gushes forth from the spring of your breath.
Hear the scratching of ink against the surface
Of the paper on which wonders unfurl -
A testimony of your spirit and purpose
Which you've so boldly sung out for the world.
So open your mind and dream of an ocean
Boundless and untamed as imagination runs.
Waves roaring with undaunted emotions,
Inspiration sprinkling down from the sun.
And when you're ready, put it all into words,
Find the strength to project them clear and loud,
Watch it ring through the skies, soar like a sea bird -
Be steady, be brave, and most of all, be proud.
