Inspiration

Surround me

In loving embrace

Of beauty and desire

Lost in inspiration.

 

Whites and snowy blue-whites

That shimmer in the light..

Making your palette a variation

On the hues and shades of muted colors,

Stealing the gazes

Awestruck with goosebumps

Unable to look away

At the sights bestowed upon me.

 

Jaded colors shine

But lose their will to stay

As you keep painting with new colors

Upon every seasonal horizon

With new colors of oranges and yellows

To the pearly frozen white of snow

Mixing with the fluttering clouds of our world.

 

Even in the darkness

There is light

The shining gems of our moonlit skies

Giving the term "starstruck"

A whole new meaning to my soul.

 

Poets of our generation and

generations of before

Telling their own personal stories of truth

Sharing their own ideas with anyone...

Everyone...

Where impossible becomes possible.

 

Mighty swords of power

To overcome the chaos and darkness.

Anyone can bring light to end of the tunnel

Bring the power to see and believe

What is right in the eyes of the beholder

There is even beauty in the darkness.

 

Searching, wandering

Down their paths of creation and dreams

Imaginations gone wild or simply staying put

In the world of their own reality

In their own minds to open the treasure chest

Of their souls and sometimes aching hearts.

 

Inspiration is everywhere...

In our light and dark

The sun and the moon

The changes of seasons

In each others hearts and minds.

All we need to do is open our eyes

And see what lies ahead.

An exquisite work of woven word you have crafted here. The piece flows in rainbow hues of emotive thought and color as the stanza cascade down the page. The themes are honest and deep, bringing clarity to the darkness that may lay in any reader who gazes up the ink tapestry. I completely agree with what this poem renders into the mind. We poets are their to paint new ideas and offer them to all who are willing and able to read. And like the ending speaks of, the future is unknown and we all shall see where it is written.

This was Amazing! Thanks for letting me know about it!

So many strong lines in this amazing poem.
