Inspiration is anti-fashion;
it holds no political beliefs
nor takes notice of celebrity;
it isn't sports minded,
pretty, handsome
or in tune with the world.
What it is,
however,
is elusive.
Inspiration is a whisper,
breathless in the ear;
a shaft of light through
an autumn canopy;
it is as delicate as
a first tentative kiss.
What is isn’t,
however,
is timely.
It comes and goes,
when it pleases,
like a mangy tom cat,
demanding to be fed
then spraying on the couch
before disappearing
into the night.
Inspiration,
damn you,
come to me.

How right you are - inspiration never seems to be timely. This piece is quite a gem.

Thanks Magic. It comes and goes as it pleases and I can do nothing but make the best of it. What makes it easier to deal with is knowing I'm not alone.
