Inspiration doesn’t come as often.
Trees bend the other way
in the wind.

Less dependent on the written word
because life breathes
a love of beauty
into my mouth.

I gasp at the purity.
Instantly grateful and wanting
More.

Addicted and saved
in the same flavor
of optimistic sight.

Black and white
gave way
to red.

And I bled.

The bad and the painful
but the color was worth
the bleed.

I close my eyes
and still see.

For me, inspiration is everwhere

It's the will to put the black onto the white, that wanes

Here, I see you were able to put pen to paper quite well.
