Inspiration

As we slide down the slippery slope
From utter despair to glimmer of hope
From gritting of teeth and perspiration
To gentle candle-light of inspiration
We ask ourselves, we explore the thought
From whence it comes, if not from nought
We see the glimmer, the spark we see
From whence it comes, if not from me? 
We see the light, we from the thought
Oh inspiration, in your web I’m caught!
