When imagination soars, and fills our hearts with wonder, we follow, high over a star filled universe We fall into that half forgotten, chamber where leaf-entwined our memory speaks to us in a small voice that only we can hear. It whispers of all these shining things, a mermaid’s flashing tail, her rainbow fins, a fairies wings, stitched  by gossamer to autumn winds. We sense the mystery of why they’re laid away Even the most ordinary is welcomed against a poet’s biggest fear - to search this darkened place- and find- nothing here.

Imagination and inspiration are a poet's greatest assets. When we have them as companions, we soar and ramble over starlit skies. With their loss, we fall into darkness unable to find anything ! An unhappy situation is powerfully hinted at Suzanne.

Thanks Valsa for you thoughtful comment. We all make sense of the world through our imagination some more vividly than others. Wishing you endless inspiration. SuZ

SuZ, that is a dreaded moment indeed. Let's keep hoping we can continue walking underneath its illuminating beacon. Nice write - John

I agree, Linda Alice: I think it is also the seat of optimism.

Imagination is so precious, and welcomed against the dear fear of not finding that elusive inspiration, very colorful and alive~

Hello Suzanne, searching a darkened place and Nothing to find..' a disconcerting thought.) We shall just have to bring our own flashlights Then we will bring something, rather than be Subject to the nothing.' Does that make sense To you.? Anyway enjoyed reading today.!
