Namaste,
The topic of inspiration kept in coming up in my recent interactions. It prompted me to write a very short poem in the matter. I felt like sharing.
Inspiration
It doesn't take much to spark the notes of the soul,
It doesn't take much to be inspired when you realise you are whole,
I don't need to be in a faraway land with stars as far as the eye can see,
I don't need to be in mansion, or paradise, or staring at idyllic scenery under a tree
I could very well be in the midst of chaos and trouble
I could very well be with those who know nothing but sleepless nights on the rubble
I could very well be in a slum admist the mud and the gravel
I could very well be with myself on my lonesome, what is the need to travel
My very essence is inspiration, I saw it in myself, and now I see it in you
I saw it in myself, and now I see it spanning across all existence, it's true
It was hard to be inspired, with a mind full of doubt,
It was hard to be inspired, when I tried to find a drop of truth in a deceit-filled drought
Now inspiration waits for me around every corner, I don't have to go and look
Conscious effort is no longer required, I even fell in love with the crook
''It's easier said then done''; I heard them whisper in my ear
I whispered back ''thats true''; but when I accept my own bliss everything becomes so clear
The gods and the goddesses bestowed it in every specimen with love
It was knitted into all life-forms with the supremes very own benovelonce; symbolic and pure like a dove
So when I'm searching for inspiration
A trip, art, or a new viewpoint might help, thats true
but if you're really looking for inspiration
you don't need to look any further than you.
