Imagine This

Sometimes people ask me
Where I get my inspiration
Most of the time it's just a thought
Or a little imagination

For inspiration is fleeting
It comes and then it goes
But imiganation we have within
A gift that continually grows

Your mind can take you anywhere
To the future or even the past
While inspiration keeps you waiting
And it never seems last

Writer's block is never a problem
When your mind is in control
Just write the words you feel inside
And you'll touch a person's soul

If I'd waited on inspiration
This poem would never get finished
But now I'm free to write again
And nothing has been diminished
