Inspiration
My one and only poem

Inspiration is a fickle friend

Close beside then gone again

A whisper taken by the wind

Never to be heard again

 

A firefly at twilight

That flashes once and then hides

A sprightly pixie that delights
In mischief at the edge of night

 

A riddle that racks the brain

The solution always slips away

A little game that never ends

Hide and seek and lets pretend

 

The difference between almost and done

A puzzle with one piece gone

That damns you to never rest

Till that piece is found and set

 

That is every dreamers fate

To chase lovers without shame

That tease and then slip away

Before the ending is in place
