Notes About The Poem

Marina Abramovic Quotes

Life Is My Inspiration

"What is life but a succession 
     of preludes to unwritten words . . . "
                             Quote _by Constance LaFrance

The words I write are mirrors of my life;
   reflections of all feelings stored inside.
Those images of happiness or woes
   inspire my mind whenever thoughts begin.

My thoughts are captured by life's history,
   of everything I've ever seen or felt;
and there they lie, my sleeping memories-
   to be awakened, shaped upon my screen.

They come and go until the hunt is done
   to catch those thoughts in inspiration's trap,
and frame as one- the mirrored images
   with fine poetic words- to be enshrined.

Life is my book where inspirations grant
   my memories a second chance to live. 
From early Spring, to now my Winter days-
   my book of life exists in written words.
