The Inspiration

Thought of her is gallivanting 
on the boulevards of my brain 
like a wild river in spring 
roused by the pouring rain. 

Thought of her makes me alive 
everytime my soul wants to surrender. 
She's the reason I survive 
the wild storm and raucous thunder. 

For even if this mind does not care 
whether this wretched body will live or die, 
thought of her makes me aware,
and what makes me want to try.
