what would it take
to encourage you to go on
to commit yourself to do
what Spirit asks of you
what’s there inside that’s true
does it take a nod of recognition
does it take some silent applause
a bow from one you honor
or a sign from a shooting star
what does it take to create
a gift of what God has offered you
to be perhaps be seen
by those in need
is there this inner knowing
a purpose that’s revealed
or just is it a love letter
to a calling you receive
does what you do need to make money
or to get a 108 likes
or is it for much more than that
is it created with some higher sight
who knows your motivation
who understands the reason why
you offer up your heart and soul
and daily keep on trying
it’s between you and the muse
or perhaps a vow you once made
it’s this sacred invocation
that guides you every day
every offering to Spirit
is beyond the limitations that define
what is this true motivation
that communicates what’s divine
