Good day Steemit community!

I was feeling creative and asked Steemit user @ailindigo to
send me 7 words to include in a poem.

Sometimes I like to consult the internet for 'seed' words to
create poetry with, and other times I prefer to seek these words
directly from people.

Here are the 7 words she thought of which are included
in poetic entry #83 that follows.

++ essence ++ beyond ++ memory ++ melancholia ++ ether ++ willpower ++ warmish ++

And now for the poem...

Smile Young One

The essence of one's soul is beyond imagining
and yet can be held in the palm of the hand
but when the memory of past lives escape us
it can be beyond our capacity to grow and expand.

When we forget who we were and where our hearts headed
sometimes plucking it from the ether is a chore
and our body feels heavy and drowned in melancholia
and even the best things in life are a bore.

Keep your chin up and smile young one
you have the willpower to make it to that day
you've been close to the source of where you ought to be
even the Sun's light'll seem warmish some say.
