What really inspires you? What warms you up inside and makes you feel so good that you just want to … well do whatever it is that you feel inspired to do?
But what causes the spark? What lights the fire inside? What makes the something inside of you come alive with desire? A desire so strong it burns, a driving need that grows within and urges you on. A special something? What is it?
We all have it inside us, waiting to come out,
~
A quiet gentle touch
whispering as it came.
Mmm, so very delicate
I was enraptured just the same.
It played upon my senses
calling out my name.
~
a current, ebbing flows
stirring my wishes and wants.
Changing dreams into great desires,
my inspiration into burning fires,
because of this feeling that grows.
A touch of Inspiration!

AnElephantCant deny inspiration
Sometimes creeps up on him by surprise
He doesn’t talk about blame
He always enjoys the flame
But he never knows what can spark those desires
I understand and agree with you. Anelephantcant and myself and others, I’m sure. are often surprised by where inspiration comes from – and how delightful is that! 🙂
