Peer Response #2 Week 2

Value Life

use your eyes..
to see the world around for what is really is...
the masterpiece in which we have somehow worked our way to be a part of..
a world which is good and pure and epic..

use your fingers..
with them color blank dull empty pages..
write love letters to those you can't say 'I Love You' to enough to convey your full emotions...
scribble on the walls in red crayola as if would be the new Mona Lisa...

use your feet..
to dance as if Elvis was right there..
as if it was the only way to move..
move them as if it was the last thing you would feel..

use your ears..
to hear the rock music of the ages..
with them hear Shakespeare's sonnets and words and rhymes...
listen to the mother hear as her babe says "I Love You' for the very first time...

use your arms..
to enfold those you love..
lift up the heavy burdens in your life and chuck them away..
to carry a bit of Fairy Dust in sacks, and let the glitter fall..

use your legs..
use them to run wild in the greenest fields..
dive into the deep blue vast ocean from a cliff..
propel yourself to ones at last come home from a long journey..

use your lips..
to scream as loud as a mad sports fan...
talk as if it was a long soliloquy and laugh as if a comedy ...
and kiss the one you love so passionately that you rival The Notebook..

use your body..
to move in all mad crazy directions that only you understand..
move it as is you have been awaking from life's coma..
thrust it to the beat of the music and the tinglings in your toes..

use your life...
to live as if no one was watching and judging you...
live like there was nothing better do do...
as if it was the only way to move in one way traffic..
living as if nothing else mattered but true bliss..
as if love songs were real and happening..
as if you just took your first breath..
live cuz it truly matters to live without regrets...

This is my response to this MoFoster's Poem. I really like this poem! I really like the "use your body.." section because I have often joked about moving to my own personal music and I share that love my nephew when we dance together in the living room. I also really liked the "awaking from life's coma." That was a great way to say that.  I like the specificity of the types of poems (ie. Shakespeare), music (ie. Elvis), etc. It's all about the splendor of life involve in the different body parts and lastly the whole of the person's life. Good job!
