And there it was…a new thought, a sudden inspiration,
free nourishment for my continuing education,
a visitor to my inquiring mind!
*
And from whence it came, and how or why,
choosing this essential unseen part of me
from others that surround?
*
And as it rested there,
a quiet firm conviction followed the first uplifting thrill.
Take pen now and capture its deepest intent.
*
Continuing urge transferred those fleeting thoughts to words,
visible now for those who care to read
the message there.
*
And thus it did remind me, I am more than flesh and bone;
that I may leave behind some insight that was mine
for others’ eyes.
*
For I have known inspiring moments through my days and nights
reading when alone what others have set down in their time,
and with wonderful smiles, uplifting me.
