Seems a luxury
to only fight the demons
inside of their heads.
Off to work we go,
shaming the delinquent sun
for being lazy.
I am missing words:
even with inspiration
sometimes they don’t flow.
Twenty-four / seven,
our connections tether us…
We are always on.
True inspiration:
your explanation provides
no other excuse.
Before you ponder
the improbability
whip out your camera!
You are a big fish
in a pond full of big fish…
Does that work for you?
I am too old now
to wear ribbons in my hair.
Damn you, adulthood!
A solemn head bows.
Closed eyes trap the prayer inside
waiting for release.
The slate is wiped clean.
New directives established…
Day one - it begins.
Survived another
three-hundred sixty-six days.
Time to start anew.
Eyes closed and waiting
in sweet anticipation…
A kiss breaks the spell.
To be an artist
just forget what it “looks like”
and draw what you see.
A beauty secret:
distance and low light conceals
almost any flaw.
The road to nowhere
must go somewhere after all…
Aren’t you curious?
