Inspiration

Inspiration can be

a double edged sword,

a comforting companion to

an absent acquaintance.

-

It can be a tidal wave

of promising passion,

to a lonely tumbleweed

rolling through a desert of thoughts.

-

Inspiration is akin to

the elusive snow leopard,

when glimpsed, glorious to behold

only to fade back into the peaks.

-

So how do we wrangle

this bashful beast,

with the lasso of creativity

or the net of determination?

-

That is the question

that has plagued creatives,

since the finger first dared

to illuminate the caves.

-

So what is the answer

I'm afraid it is simple,

so brace yourselves

you cannot.

-

Simply let it flow.
