Inspiration
Inspiration sounds from every tap on a computer keyboard
The writer; she is drawing out her sword!
Bold, inky letters shuffle themselves through the screen
Transforming into words; they create a scene
These words are then jotted out into paragraphs, chapters, and stories
The writer’s mind works like miners in quarries
At times, writing becomes exhausting and tiring
Yet, inspiration causes the mind to start rewiring
Sadly, when inspiration gets warmed by the flames of the writer
Laziness and Unwillingness’ chokehold on the flames become tighter and tighter
That chokehold causes the blackened waters of Laziness and Unwillingness to burst
And extinguish the flames; extinguishments are the worst
For they take away the inspiration; the love to imagine and create
New worlds and castles; It is not too late
For still, Inspiration can awaken from the blackened, watery ground
Of Laziness and Unwillingness; new life has been found!
The sword still shimmers brightly in the writer’s hands
As she faces the computer and writes about different lands
At night, as the writer sleeps, her mind
Recollects as many words and images as it can find
Images and words from her stories; they are stretched to create more room
For more ideas; the ideas are spun as carefully as a loom
For when the writer again opens her computer, she draws out her sword
Her fingers tapping rapidly on the computer keyboard
