~ Thoughts on Inspiration ~
Imagining that art, any art
comes out of nowhere
like it is a brand new concept
connotes a foolish lack of wisdom
The greater truth is
that everything, no matter the art form
every word written
each verse that is composed
comes out of something that precedes it
It is a chain of human responses
passing on from other impressions
and the power of the written word
can never be standardized or mechanized
it is unique unto itself
Learning how to feel
by listening to the nature of your mind
acquiring inspiration, making something
all your own out of things absorbed
from echo’s and borrowings
and just living

my dear friend this is an outstanding write
makes me want to search deeper into the unknown
