Forgotten dreams,
lay on the side,
of a well traveled path.

Unquenched desires,
loll about the dust,
in quiet disregard.

World shaping thoughts,
huddle atrophied,
in my stagnate mind.

Fire flares,
through the opening,
of inspiration's door.

Flames of passion,
sear away the grime,
of disuse and neglect.

Poetry's firey muse,
ignites the inspiration
in long sleeping pen.

Welcome home,
long lost scribe,
welcome back to life.

Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.
Nil Desperandum, Fata viem invenient

nothing like a bit of passion
to fire up those dormant layers

Thanks y'all.

Ya know De...  I kinda just slipped right back into the groove.  Plucked the word ignited out of the air and began to compose something.  It felt good.

In almost a year away, I had not written anything.  Tried to use a pen and paper but couldn't get anything to flow.  One short hour at PiP and I squeezed something out.

Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.
