Inspiration is caught up in
the branches of Christmas trees,
the music of carols and song,
snowmen ~ or sandcastles.
Inspiration comes from
a child’s imagination,
an adolescent’s hopes and dreams,
an adult's memories ~ loosed from pragmatism.
We all have decorated our worlds
whether with tinsel and sleighbells, re-birthed old ~ even ancient ~ toys put away as childish, or the varied and various trappings of our lived-in lives.
Inspiration may be caught up
in all those things but once we each put
a bauble on a tree
draw a picture of the life we’d like
or position that Christmas tree just so
our ideas and desires take on
a magical life of their own
birthed from our choices.
To live within those choices is
the true inspiration and an exciting challenge.
With tending and care we will find a way
to see inspiration as a twinkle not an entire light show.
“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting
for our senses to grow sharper.”
~ W.B.Yeats
