LOST AND FOUND

LOST AND FOUND ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When all words have been written, the pen feels heavy, leaden weight in my weary hand. Inspiration, a silent bird, takes flight, a flash of iridescent wings disappearing beyond the horizon. Imagination, a child lost in a funhouse, caught in a repetitious loop of familiar shapes, trapped in distorted, mirrored halls. Then, a door appears, not one of wood or metal, but one of starlight and whispers, polished smooth by yearning and passion. I open it, and the world explodes with colors unseen and sounds unheard, with endless possibilities. My senses ignite; every cell comes alive; and inspiration, no longer silent,

This is an instant FAVE for me, Sara. You have really captured the emotions felt, and through stanza after image-laden stanza. Bravo, Gershon

Wonderful imagery, Sara ~ The last stanza is 2 lines ending with a comma ~ makes me wonder if you intended to add to it...

"My senses ignite; every cell comes alive; and inspiration, no longer silent," -- wonderful read, highlighting the creative process. Starts early in life, why parents should encourage. Wonder if God felt the same way? His first flower, mountain and see. Was he drowsy when it came to humans?:))

thanks for your enthusiastic comments and your thought provoking words. Perhaps God was drowsy when creating humans... :-) made me smile...have a blessed evening, Sara
