I thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you! Such a good reminder to take a moment and just be. It felt natural to read both internally and aloud.
Thank you for sharing.

JLR,
You mean I can learn to sparkle just by breathing differently??? Wow. I need to learn some sparkling tricks. As I age, it gets a little harder. Thanks for this offering~

Robyn, I know that your sparkle will be seen my many in 2021 and that your Presence will be salve to their souls.. SPARKLE BRIGHTLY.....
Comment from Lance S. Loria
You poem seems to be a positive message but I must say I was clearly confused by the true meaning. It was unclear to me. Perhaps it is because it was Free Verse which is my lease favorite of the poetry types. Have no fear, I realize this is my short coming and not a reflection of your poetry writing skill. I read your work over and found it to be professionally written. No edits or adjustments necessary.

Lance thank you for your authentic voice about poetry preferences. While I attempt to write content in "free verse" style that provides a wide range of poetic devices, the most important aspect of the writing is that it should be easily understood. I will address this in future submissions.....Happy New Year
Comment from dragonpoet
This is a good answer to the challenge. It shows how a soul can sparkle from inside out. This sounds both like prayer and meditation which probably could be close to the same things and times.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Happy New Year.

Comment from Eternal Muse
This is great free verse. Excellent response to the club's challenge. I like the imagery and visuals, and the philosophical nature of it.
Let each sparkling ray,
glow from its infinite place in the depths of space
directly into your minds-eye
Thank you so much for sharing and happy New Year!

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hello JLR, this sounds like a very good poem on the importance of Mindfulness - something I have never managed to grasp LOL! Your poem, if I decipher correctly sounds so easy and enjoyable, maybe I am missing out. It is a lovely read and as I read this poem, I am slowly sinking in to its benefits. Well done. Hopefully I shall sparkly. Good entry to the club challenge. Happy New Year - Dorothy x

Wow. I wasn't expecting the theme of this to be "Sparkle" but I suppose it makes sense.
A well written poem for this contest. I wish you well.
Thank you for sharing your gift.
