Poem Artwork

An inspiration


 


Can arrive


 


Quite unexpectedly


 


At any moment


 


Of the day or night


 


 


While you are catnapping


 


Driving in your car


 


Strolling through the park


 


Or staring into space


 


 


You should never


 


Attempt to hinder it


 


Or quell its impassioned desire


 


To be released


 


And to express itself fully


 


 


Even though


 


At first glance


 


Its initial attempts


 


May seem like


 


A complete waste of time


 


Utter folly


 


Or even sheer madness


 


 


With deft patience


 


And understanding


 


You may often


 


Be quite surprised


 


At inspiration’s final form


 


 


Many a masterpiece


 


Both artistic and written


 


Has resulted from


 


Quite an odd assortment


 


Of meager


 


Amazing


 


And unbelievable beginnings

straight to the heart of the matter... I had an odd inspiration this morning when a glowing moon still hung in the daylit sky. I followed the thoughts blindly for a time and arrived at the most amazing place. I love the creative life! great expression of it here.

I'm always writing things down as they occur to me - even if they make no sense. Quite often my writings are borne of reading old scribblings and making sense of them. Excellent write

This is so true. You never know where something is going to lead, if you take an idea an just follow through on it. This can apply to any creative effort, not just art.

Is the truth, I myself can not just sit

Thank you, Ed, for reading my mind and relating them as I would... "utter folly" should never be dismissed and time is never wasted if we treasure life... regret nothing, own yourself, and carry on... I love this piece... it truly speaks to me. katy xox.
