Inspiration
Can hit like a hammer or cut like a knife,
emerge from the mind or even real life,
might sneak upon you on soft kitten paw,
or leave your insides all beaten and raw;
might slip in the room like gossamer ghost,
could crash into you like some foreign host;
jump in your brain, complete as a dream,
or tiniest scrap from some Facebook meme;
a silvery sunset or quivering rainbow,
some shocking event or depressive blow;
but I like it best when a poet friend’s line,
inspires me to write something sublime.
