Inspiration

Through the breathless comma of anticipation
I search for words that yearn to walk
A smokeless incense of inspiration arises
Pulled back from fleshless graveyards of bleak

Pale dawn stumbles from midnight to forget,
Splashing auroras of platinum mist
Breathing fireflies into tombs of musky indigos -
Endless effervescence of grace.

Silk ribbons of ice melt into wellsprings
Present tense of the divine dawn.

Michael Tor Date: 12/26/2024 9:51:00 PM Wow Sam you brought it all together with a combined puzzle of past Poetry submissions. This seems so difficult to do. I am sure it took you a long time to compose, what a great effort on your part. I don't know if I have the patience to do one. Incredible theme you came up with sharing with the reader. Well done! Wishing you a healthy and safe New Year, thank you for sharing and God bless you, for the New Year and all you love...

Have to admit that pulling lines from so many poems was quite a challenge! We, as writers, so often wrestle with finding inspiration so, ultimately, it was fun to go back and see it's divine hand moving! I hope you will try this challenge. So many of your poems have such stunning lines! Sending you blessings of joy and peace this Christmas season along with health and happiness for the New Year!
