Bits of Inspiration ~ Glitter In The Air

Hello, fellow toads and all who visit here. This is Susie Clevenger and this is my first time to post a Wednesday challenge. I struggled with what to call my postings and settled on Bits of Inspiration. This week's inspiration comes from a song by Pink titled Glitter In The Air (written by Alicia Moore & Billy Mann).


The following is a sampling of the lyrics and you can find the entire song here.

"Have you ever felt a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?"


"It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn"


"Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight"


My challenge is for you to watch the video...listen to the song...and find your poetry in it. Not only are the words and her voice beautiful but the grace of her acrobatics is stunning. Perhaps when you watch it the colors will inspire you...the vivid blue, white, purple. Take a deep breath and create. 

As always please write a new poem for the challenge and visit the fellow contributors to read their work.

My oldest daughter, Dawn, is having surgery today so please excuse me if I am late in responding.

Yes, I will pray for Dawn and hope all goes well! You n' your family are in my thoughts!

I never knew Pink had this kind of power. I don't mean her physical shape and outfit--I mean her making her audience feel what she means. The non-verbal amplifies the verbal beautifully. Thank you. My poem is for Dawn.

Dawn is out of surgery. It took over seven hours, but it went well. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers for healing without complications.

For some reason this video will not play in my country! I will have to look for a different version on Youtube. It's been a hectic week at work, so I haven't had any time yet.
Glad to hear all went well with the surgery, Susie.
