Breathing Life into the Living

When people ask me what I do,
I say to them, I’m Giving

I’m giving what I have to you
I breathe life into the living

I sit upon a stage at night,
And play for all who listen

I play and Shakespeare I recite
The diamond sonnets glisten

I don’t get paid,
I just get made
A Pizza
And a chocolate Pie

And When You sleep,
I make a dream,
And you might wonder why

And as for me,
Perhaps you’ll see
The magic that I weave

It takes not much
Away the crutch
And you will soon believe

So, when people ask you what you do
What will you say to them?

Will you loose the inner fire?
Will you write with golden stem?

Or perhaps you might say softly,
To the ones whose hearts are giving

I take what has been given me,
And breathe Life into the living

Wonderful. This airy kind of writing is fun to read. It seems like you are on an excursion into a wonderful world where troubles are actually non-existent and the trials and tribulations of the modern world take a backseat to a feel good atmosphere.

Welcome to PiP.

Forget the Psychiatrists they just find out all about you and sell you back to yourself!

I enjoyed the premise of the poem and the manner in which you breathed life into it.
