I'm trying to find Inspiration.
Desperately trying to find Inspiration.
She's a coy creature, she is.
I look for her.
Looking when I listen to that gentle song on repeat,
when I bury my nose in my favorite Roald Dahl story,
when I stare out into that damn beautiful sky everyday.
I'll find her hidden in the crevasses of the wrinkles of their grins,
in the sweet air that passes through an open screen door on a summer night,
in the excited energy that surges within clusters of conversations amongst my youthful company.
And then I let her take me.
Allow her to envelop all of me,
Gently submerged in a pool brimming with the sweet summer air.
She's gooey and sweet, slathering my mind,
dripping from the tiny corners of my imagination.
And I'll have her once more and we'll share happy thoughts,
and breathe easy,
and twinkle with excitement that comes with her new ambitions and fantasies..
Until that twinkle starts dwindling.
It's always a waning farewell, but always met with the determination to find her again.
Over and over again!
