Making a picture of something abstract

                                                     


                                                                 Inspiration
                                                           
                                                                It's a fleeting thing
                                                                Mysterious as the undersea,
                                                               And as unpredictable as a phone's ring.
                                                                Inspiration,
                                                               Sparked by all sorts of things.

                                                               After much consideration,
                                                               I liken it to a colony of bubbles,
                                                               Dancing brightly in front of my eyes,
                                                               Masking,
                                                               Personifying,
                                                               And often solving a variety of troubles.
                                                               
                                                               Inspiration,
                                                               A tool,
                                                               A drive,
                                                               My own color,
                                                               A surprise!
                                                               Inspiration,
                                                               Without it we could not live our lives.

                                                                   Blank Page
                                          We all have our books,
                                                               True, original stories of our lives,

                                                              Time is the page turner,
                                                              Leaving the story of yesterday
                                                              And bringing the blank pages of tomorrow,

                                                              A new year,
                                                              A new part,
                                                              A new time for God to work in your heart,
                                                              Enjoy the filling of those blank pages.
