The Sieve of Inspiration

What's happening..
what's happening to me?
Why,oh why
what use was that?

The tears, the trials..
the silences of
words left unsaid..
the ups and downs

What use was that?

The wrinkles,the lines
the aches and pains..
heartbreaks and joy
that each compound

I pick up a pen,
I write it down

As a chrysalis to a butterfly
a poem to emerge..
from a mosaic of memories
to an inspiration surge.
