The Inspiration

Thoughts.
Mystical. Magical.
Fantasy-like
Transporting us
from the mundane
to the piquant.
With verve and
sparkle
Till we are restless
passionate and
adrenalised

We become eloquent.
Magniloquent, perhaps.
and then mediocrity
no longer stays
the accepted mode.
There is that innate
propensity for
flamboyance here.

Then a sudden
aberration sets in-
Unnerving and
a trifle disconcerting.
Quixotic ways
get promptly discarded
and one awakens to
reality
The staid path seems
less disquieting
and more reassuring.


Idealistic views
pour out
and words surge
forth
Giving voice to
emotions
which have been
cached away
in the remote
recesses of the
being

All feelings-
Every feeling
Finds expression
In Words,
Art and
Photographic collages.
