To Weave And Thread

Oh inspiration, leave me not
                            On wings departed for the sun
For you and I are were such good friends
                    When we were standing, still as one

If not for you, the turquoise skies
                           Would hover just a simple blue
And flowers would of course, still be
                             Yet not of such a fragrant hue

The faded lines of tedium
              Become brand-new when you’re around
But oh, the doldrums dominate  
                       When you no longer can be found

Oh inspiration, be my muse 
                               Awaken you old sleepy head
With crayon candied thoughts to flow
             And winsome words to weave and thread
