It starts off as a raindrop
falling before my feet
I stand back to watch
as it slowly slides down
reaching my toe
it starts to enter my skin
carefully making its way up
revitalizing and inspiring
that special place within my heart
I can feel its trail deep inside
somehow it reproduces itself
leaving me lost in a giant pool
awakening my muse and inspiration
my ideas start to pour over
like a waterfall filled with my emotions
my eyes begin to wander
fingers feel around the desk
in search of the one thing
that will bring it all together
hands wrap tightly around it
thoughts and emotions
start to flow uncontrollably
racing through my shoulders
down to my hand that grips the pen
like a god I give life to a canvas
my words spill forth filling each page
letters sometimes jumble
words start to overlap
I close my eyes for a minute
take a deep breath
then slowly but surely
letters rearrange themselves
words take shape like building blocks
becoming complete thoughts
my canvas becomes complete
I sit back to review my work
my soul sighs in contentment
as another raindrop falls
inspiring the very heart of me
I turn to a fresh page
lose myself in it all over again
