When the monotony of life appears unbearable
And nothing in my daily routine seems able
To get me inspired, I sit down to examine minutely
Where I can tweak things to bring novelty..
*
I start by browsing through the library shelves
To find a hidden gem of a book that delves
Into uplifting themes of friendship, love, perseverance
The “feel-good” read that brings satisfaction immense..
*
I bring out some crisp sheets of paper or a new notebook
For the smoothest writing pens I look
So that when I sit down with pen and paper I am inspired
To write, blank sheets get my imagination fired
*
Creating art is a manifestation of luxury
Of time that is not available readily
I refresh my art supplies and procure
Colored pencils and pens so I can ensure
When I sit down to create art, my flow
Is not restricted by supplies running low
*
Sometimes all this requires effort intense
In that case, I practice dance moves under the pretense
That I am on stage, though my mirror is the only witness
Dance invigorates me and relieves my stress
*
If I could be perfectly honest, in my fantasy
I would travel to an exotic place to break monotony
But traveling on a whim is the prerogative of only a few
Therefore with my real life solutions I continue
Passion...unbridled
