Inspired

Sometimes inspiration comes from somewhere much closer than you would expect.

I sit in this ol' empty room
all quiet and still,
it's like I'm on the moon.

The only company I'll entertain
are shadows and furniture
and my lonesome brain.

This restless body, needs not a bed
to rest its wavering soul.
It yearns to dream, to forfeit its dread
whilst awake in reality's dome.

This raging, beating, fiery heart
dormant in a shell; unable to start,
needs an ignition to entice the flames
of passion and flair into my veins.

So where can I find
this potential spark,
to bring my mind
out from the dark?

To search the depths,
to scour the heights?
A route so bereft,
no trail to abide.

The answer, uncertain.
Its quest, unforgotten.

Maybe it is nearer
than what I had imagined.
I can feel it building closer;
it's not from another planet.

So I look deep within me
and find the same heart
Which once failed its glory
has now renewed its spark.

"The closer you get to something
the tougher it is to see it"
-That is the old witty saying
and to this poem, gives merit.

Sometimes, we must delve
into the darkness of ourselves
and find that inspiration,
that reason for our continuation.

Good enough for what?..........It's your mind, it's your life blood poured out in a kind of rhyme, that It's you, and no one can take that away from you. Inspiration comes often when one neither needs or wants it :O) enjoyed, I think it was good enough dont you?

"The closer you get to something

The poem is very good. In a life. We search for answers to many question. Reach for many goals. When we find the answers and reach the goals. The victories seem very small. Life is a hard journey to know the truth. Took me many years to know. I'm not important. The people I care for and the kindness I give to others is the real purpose of a good life. A outstanding poem. Made me think.

I was requested to read by a friend and I can see why. This is an amazing poem. I honestly enjoyed reading this. It spoke on many levels and I think every time you read it, it will make sense in a different way. Perspective changes constantly. Great write.

Good writing piece. The answer to every struggling heartbeat is realizing what your life is meant for. You can be told a thousand times by a hundred people. But to 'understand' the answer is to let go of yourself and take hold of the worlds struggles. The hearts SPARK is the WILL to "Fight For Love". One CANNOT satisfy themselves if they are living FOR themselves.

Very nice job. From the heart. What more can one ask for. As others have said, Good enough for what? Good enough for you should be the only thing you worry about. It is a very touching write.

This is amazing, I love the flow and how every word contributes to the meaning perfectly!
"This raging, beating, fiery heart
dormant in a shell and unable to start,
needs an ignition to entice the flames
of passion and flair to flow into my veins."
This part really stood out for me (:
Great write (:

You touch on inspiration so well.. something that we can all relate to. Those moments do come in the darkness that help us find that fire to light the way. Excellent!
