inspiration

Inspiration like lightning strikes.
Thunder pounds your soul.
Rain masks the falling tears,
Laugh until you cry again.
Empty of all aspirations,
Staring down your fears.
Simply out of desperation,
Watching with a sinking heart,
The dust that once blew so free.
Dampened down to mud,
Clinging to your feet,
Weighing down your steps.
Yet you soar,
Opposite of dust.
Each new roll,
And each new strike,
A beat of your newfound heart.
A flap of your newfound wings.
A push to move
Past the clouds
On to meet the sun.
Find what you seek.
