When you are needing
Your space
To do some searching
Go and look
For the aforementioned
Small body of water
In the dry land
That is your mind
And well-being
When you look for inspiration
And cannot
Find the necessary
Words
Phrases
And
Iambic Pentameter
To flow
Like the bottom of water
Ever so gently
Trickling
Spurts
Of water droplets
That feed the barren
Yet saturated soil
Of the mind
That is of yours
Be ever so quiet
To hear the water drops
It will lead you to the
Destination of inspiration
To write
Many pieces
Of writing
That will help
Nurture
And
Will plant seeds
In order for the seeds
To sprout
And grow new ideas
To help the world
With the necessary
Sunlight
Water based soil
And
The last ingredient
The most important of all
The Lord Almighty
To turn the small sapling
Into
A great beanstalk
Over time the beanstalk will sprout
But if you are ever
Struggling
To find inspiration
Go walk in the desert of your mind
Even if you are scared
Walk into the very depths
Even if it lasts
For 40 endless years
Do not be afraid to step up
Out of your comfort zone
Become a Moses
Lead the Israelites
Out of the corrupt land
Of writer’s block
And into the safer land
Inspiration all around
And with God being the
Giver of all Things
He will lead you to the promised land
With an unlimited amount
Of bodies of water
Small they may be
But soon enough you will not know which to choose
So you will have to part the sea
Of ideas
To find the right one
For the certain person
To help
To lead
With God at the forefront
Lighting the path of where to go
You just will have to know
When to follow
