Hello Self, Stay Awhile . . .

Hello self
Where have you been?
It has been awhile since you have been here
And I have missed having your creative juices
Course through your mind and body
Those creative juices that invoke visions
And inspiring images of your other self
That self that imagines and dreams
Seeing things that most people miss
As they become lost in busyness
And the self destructiveness
Of focusing on getting ahead
In order to keep up with the next person
Or just trying to look good
But in the same moment missing life
And all of life's essence
Be it in the appreciation of a sunrise
As the morning light breaks over the mountains
Or when it sets brilliantly in the evening
Those simple things that this thing I call self
Has missed for so many days
Those things of simple beauty
Including the erotic and feelings of passion
Seeing life as it really is
And loving that life
So self, don't be such a stranger
Instead, stay awhile and even linger
Enabling me to remember who you are
