Overwhelmed By Joy
I Have To Slow Down
When my heart beats fast and I can't seem to catch my breath
I am not running or playing a sport or anything of the sort
I am enjoying all life that I see and I am taking it in impatiently
I remind myself to slow down it will always be there
It is the way life is so bountiful and exciting
As I gasp for one more breath
I sit here and with my eyes open wide
Trying to take in every word I hear
But my mind is fluttering and my body is shaking but not in fear
I am trying to absorb like a sponge all the things I have learned today
I have tried to listen and not write
But my fingers want to type
I tell them no
This is time that we have to learn and relax and take in all the knowledge that we hear
But they constantly tell me they can do so much more
They can write every thought I think
They can share the knowledge that we have learned
They can respond to all my feelings that are felt
They can actively participate in taking action
I insist that we have to learn more and resist
If I have to I will tie your hands up and then what will you do ?
I will beg to be untied and I will promise you things you could never do
I can type faster than before because I have a clear direction
i can type with less errors because I am more proficient at what I do
I can help you help others by telling them what they mean to you
So please free my hands so I may write
You listen hear
Every time I go on the computer you want to do your thing
I want to read other peoples great stories and learn about their lives
I want to understand their gifts and take in their insights and wonderful thoughts
I can not do that if all you want to do is type
I see you may me puzzled at this dilema that you face
What if I type and tell your readers how you feel ?
Let them decide if I should type or let you read the next hub on the screen in front of you in plain view
Will we let the decision stand or will you try to force my hand
I am only a tool that lets you do the things that you want to do
How could I ever do anything against your will
I take your simple thoughts and make them fine
I take your dreams and make them mine
I take your mistakes and correct them as I go
We have a deal then
I have to think it through
I am making sure this is not one of your tricks that you have been known to have up your sleeve
I want to read hubs that are so inspiring and so devine
They are about hubbers who have given up time in their day
Who have spent many precious hours making their ordinary hubs fabulous
To every last detail
From pictures to poems
From riddles to long stories
From facts and interesting tidbits
From religion to inspiration
From educational to tutorials
From wild animation to you tubes endless videos that expain it all
How can you compare your words to that
They are plain and not bold
They don't even show pictures to create the mood and the tone
That is where your wrong my friend
I do more than what you think
I give you a blank screen with mare words to see
To let your imagination free
I let you think with your mind and not lead you down one certain path to follow
I open a door that you may come and go
As often as you wish
Read my thoughts and press them against your lips
You can feel my energy and you can taste my desire
But I let you decide how far and how deep they can go
You may read this now or read it again later
Depending on your thoughts at the time
What you will bring to the table with you is all in your mind
I can not tap into it because it is the strongest safe on earth
Even with dynomite that is made to blow up the toughest things on earth
But I can let you work your combination and turn your keys
A little to the left and slightly to the right
Poof what a sight
The safe door is finally open and all things intact
I see the magic of all your secrets that you guarded so well
All the knowledge hidden that no one else could find
I let you willingly share what you find neccessary and fit
I enter a world that other hubbers miss
The one of each persons mind and their unlimited potential that they hold
If you come to read a line or two
I will be just happy to see your words of thanks that you leave
You are smarter than I gave you credit for
I thought you were just hands that wanted to dictate and tell others what to do
You are actually only pointers to help others in the right direction
You let their own imagination expand and grow
You give them the freedom of thought
You realize that you could never draw the pictures that each mind sees
You make each writing a love story that they have to write their own ending
I would like to shake your hand on a job well done
Together we can compromise and read more hubs and then write
We can work together as a team not one hand against the other
Together we can accomplish our dreams that are still rising like the sunrise of every day
We try to figure them out until the sunsets later that night
We sleep on it
We dream on it
Only then we can tackle one more problem
One more idea
We can help others and help ourselves
With sharing our life of show and tell
