if it’s really worthwhile
at those times I turn inward
and find some spark that still shines
you never know who you’ll touch
when you speak from your soul
it’s all an act of faith
that is offered in the alter of life
as a seed to flourish and grow
there may be a chord that resonates
and someone who cares what we write
perhaps there’s a smile
or others with whom are thoughts are shared
you throw a pebble in the water
and let the ripples go
you say a silent prayer
and hope the circle
finds its way home
and sometimes you’re granted
a little reward
a kind comment or emoji
that touches your heart
and your faith is restored
so why do writers write
and why do creators create
what makes musician play
what’s really the cause of our fate
what’s the motivation behind
this strange inspirations game
we find this endless supply of energy
that is more important than fame
I think we are fed
by Spirit great muse
and must try to capture it
before that concept we lose
and we know it’s not us
that decides how we choose
this inner force that finds a home
in the messenger that comes on throug
