Inspiration

A poetic essay at getting inspired.

Image via Wikipedia

Inspire me to aspire.

To fulfil my every desire.

Come down you Muses.

Swoop low from Mount Olympus.

Fill me with your blazing fire.

Make me rise like a Phoenix,

Soaring aloft with burnished wings.

Give me a vision

Of Heavens paved with gold.

Let me see palaces

Carved from diamonds

Made in Neptune’s

Molten core.

Blind me with a light

So fearsome

I can barely look.

Show me infinity,

Eternal bliss.

Make me feel

A boundless Love.

Well,

What are you waiting for?

At least one reader saw this before I did! It was published within seconds of submission. Hope people like this poem.

This is the kind of inspiration that we all, as writers, hope for! Well done!

As a writer we don’t have to be inspired by others. When you feel the urge and need to write, write.

Luckily I keep getting that urge to write. May this long continue. Hope the Muses visit us frequently.

Hi there!
