Celestial Soda Pop

Colors swirl, dance, fizz,
whiz by in a dizzy stream?
Dream of magic, of galaxies--

Creativity dances with light
bright as a shooting star.
Far away your mind ventures:

Set off down a road at the pace of a skip.
Trip hop, hit a pothole but keep on,
don a nightcap of sun and stars.

Inspiration comes from all.
Stall a moment and look there--
fair is the night's shimmering canvas.

Inspiration is as joyful as a kiss;
bliss comes with the stroke of a brush?
rush to get your ideas down.

Let yourself go and take a breath.
Death of the spirit is the worst.
Burst of vitality revives it.

Wallow in the world as you drink:
think only of possibility and goals,
souls within everything.

No rules to follow, no nerves to quell?
Smell fresh blades of grass--
Pass into a dream.
