Uninspired

By asailorsangel

This is for Markus he wrote me today to see how I was and I felt a glimmer of inspiration



Through the periscope of life
An image of self
Stands motionless in our mind

A toneless song dances
In the distance
E – c- h –o- i – n – g
Through the uninhibited
Corridors of
The forgotten imagination

Hands grasping at passing inspiration
Like the poor reaching for gold

Teasing the fingertips
But just out of minds reach
Slowly our words form sentences
We are at the end again
And our minds are
Left abandoned
