INSPIRATION
As I sit down and close my eyes,
slowly relax my body
to clear my mind,
I begin to drift afar
from everyday fare
as my mind begins
to wander without care.
Wistful clouds above a
huge blue sky,
Pines and evergreens
among mountains high,
Rushing streams with
white water spray,
Nature's dreams
of bygone days.
Perhaps it was a
weather beaten face,
A chance encounter,
an enlightening day,
Something that was said
a timeless item read
An event, a gathering,
speech, sermon it really
could have been
anyone of these
or anything at all.
Yet in that fleeting moment,
at just the very right time
when the mind is most at ease,
deep in its most inner recesses
a hidden thought races by
and is as if by magic caught,
a revelation, an inspiration
just as natural to me,
as why haven't I had
this same thought before.
