What inspires? It can be anything. What are some of the things that have inspired me? Let's see...
The way the wind blows the trees,
The sway of their limbs,
The play of light on leaves,
The way clouds play in the sky fields,
Birdsong
Either end of day.
A look, a glance,
A gesture that dances across our notion
Of how things ought to be.
The wave and weave of
Land and shore,
The many moods of ocean,
Shells - those decorative husks
That once held 'life'.
River stones
Playing with words of water,
Flowing the song
Down along the concourse,
Land veins that spill into arteries
And rush too readily
Into the anonymity that is
The sea....
What is there that is not
Able to catch us unawares
And surprise us with
That moment in time's uniqueness,
The very essence of 'original'
As we stand
And stare...
