The writing prompt was the word Discover.
A Sense of Discovery
As you discover the world around you
Let what comforts you be your guide
Discover with your ears – and listen
Sounds of a gentle rain
The music of a chirping bird calling out, “I’m here.”
Gentle breathing of a loved one sleeping at your side
Sounds of silence and calm in where noise abounds
Discover with your eyes and see
Sunrises, sunsets, the colors of a rainbow
A night sky filled with unlimited stars
The flight of a butterfly going from flower to flower
Smiles on the faces of those you admire and love
Discover the smells; use your eyes too
Freshly baked bread
Sweetness of flowers in bloom
The misty morning dew
The fresh air of a country walk
Discover the tastes; savor the flavor
Seasoned delicacies that feed your hunger
The first lick of an ice cream cone in summer
Sweet ripe fruit, as its juice glides over your tongue
A refreshing drink that quenches your thirst
Discover the touches; feel what’s there
A hug, an embrace, a pat on the back
Holding hands with those you love
Cool wind on a hot summer day.
Tears of joy
Discover what’s in your heart
Let it beat for yourself and others
Be nourished as it flows within
Love, compassion, empathy, gratitude
Let it demonstrate that you care
Discover your mind with thoughts that guide you
Creative thoughts that expand
Awareness of all and the strength to believe in what’s right
The hope of a better world
The power to change it
And then let the world
Discover you
