2021/11/29 #poetry Waiting for inspiration Really doesn't seem Like the best way To get things done I probably shouldn't do it The problem is That as ways go It's certainly the most fun I can wait quite a while Too Time pressures Are scarce for me And all too soon The year is through And I still have everything To do You see? So waiting for inspiration Will have to wait
For times when Nothing is at stake When I can't even make A note When in the shower Or as the pen runs out of ink In the midst of a party While ordering a drink Deep in meditation And while too groggy in my bed Anytime the only place to keep The ideas is in my head If it'll be forgotten Then inspiration knows Failure can not touch it It's safe to be exposed It jumps into your mind From its secret hiding spot Because it can run right back While it knows it can't be caught
So don't wait for inspiration Make some progress while you can Don't worry what will happen Just lift the pen and move your hand
