Inspire Her

A poem about losing inspiration and finding it again.

Two decades ago, she was born

life was beautiful and full of twists, turns, and changes

the world was an inspiration, and she took notes on the beauty of it all

 

Two years ago she saw a picture of her worst nightmare

hung in a gilded frame over the fireplace in her previous lovers' house

while she was sorting through dusty boxes of old memories

 

Two months ago her life seemed to cave in

a plethora of bad images attacked her mind

and lucid dreaming never fixes the reality of life

 

Two weeks ago her heart melted at the edges

lightening and changing color from scarlet to a vivid chartreuse

this illness struck her like a heartbreak, and there was a reason for being blue this time

 

Two days ago there was a flutter

and her entire demeanor changed as she finally found

the journal she was looking for amid all the nonsense and rusty thoughts

 

Two hours ago she finished reading the journal

laid back in the old reclining chair that had been her mother's

and finally let a small, perfectly shaped tear run down her storm-weathered cheek

 

Two minutes ago she smiled fondly one last time

before she decided to exhale all thoughts of the one she used to love

and finally move on with her life, move on with her battle-hardened heart

 

Two seconds ago her eyes cleared, light shined through the window

warmth flooded from her, as the cool, dark place in her heart finally receded

and she reached out to seek the one that would inspire her once again...

Only one word can sum up my feelings on your poem: Amazing! Somewhere in the timeline, I saw glimpses of my own life.
