I look for inspiration everywhere around me
I thrive on short bursts of creativity
That intercept the mundane work that I do
Things of beauty let me get through
Dull days, with unwavering routines
The mere sight of a sunset pristine
On my drive back home is often enough
To offset the rigors of a work-day tough
And inspire the aspiring poet in me
To arrange words in the form of poetry
Sometimes bright wildflowers bring a splash
Of color to my grey day, and I retrieve my stash
Of painting materials to create floral art
Which soothes my mind and warms my heart
If I hear foot-tapping music somewhere
I break into dance, without a care
I dance to the beats in my memory
Until reality breaks my reverie..
*
This in small aliquots I find
Inspiration for creativity to flourish in my mind
Passion...unbridled
