Inspiration
Idle words dance; leaves in the wind.
I walk the streets, somewhat chagrined,
as they whirl about unconfined.
Their magic takes root in my mind.
Within myself, I come to see
the treasures amongst the debris.
Reality is left behind.
Their magic takes root in my mind.
Words take on a life of their own
with images, hither unknown,
lifting dark veils from eyes once blind.
Their magic takes root in my mind.
Idle words dance; leaves in the wind.
Their magic takes root in my mind.
