Inspiration

Pictures, especially black and white,
call to my inspirational nature. I can
spool stories about the nothings I don't
know. I can make one believe it is mine.

Nature, as in the gorgeous watercolors
I observe from my window to the world,
calls my name on occasion. It speaks
to a grander scheme than I belong.

Stories catch my fancy and transport
me to places I would never wander myself.
I can explore the life after without
leaving the comfort of my existence.

Words spill from the inkwell, spread
across the page, and relate beautiful
landscapes that have no basis in my own
reality. Fiction is the word today.
