Inspiration winds like a spiral staircase,
always away, never towards me
as familiar as a left handed screw
in a right handed world
and I pursue diligently
chasing always after the dream
the new inspiration
the connection with words
"grow up!" my friends say to me
"leave the dreaming and come back to reality"
but there are too many faerie tales to chase
too many visions unspoken
too many tales untold
for me to let them be
so I pursue
while inspiration winds away
on the winds of chance
with the wings of change.
I follow blindly with arms outstretched
reaching for the stars.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

reaching for the stars."

This is absolutely lovely, my friend... I'll send earplugs so you never have to listen to those who'd ask you to stop the pursuit... for it will be such great loss if you ever do. *S*

When we do this so called "growing up" is when we often loose what makes pictures of clouds...hold on to as much of it as you can...

I would rather my words fall upon deaf ears than a closed mind...

while inspiration winds away
on the winds of chance
with the wings of change.
I follow blindly with arms outstretched
reaching for the stars.

Yuppers, there is "Nothing" in this world we cannot do, if we put our noses to the core, and the potential...boy oh boy   a very inspirational ride!  Thank you

Keth, this is lovely and reminds me of a fav saying of mine
To be a star you must shine your own light
follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when stars shine brightest!
Hugs.  Inspirational indeed dear!
