Inspiration – my
Companion in
Every pursuit; I’d
Be lost without
Every moment
Lost in its depths
I forget lament
Time flies away
Years like seconds
Inspiration – my
Guide to emotions
Paper to quills of
Subtle points; even
In friendship, it’s
Always ubiquitous
Its wield over me
Isn’t scary, I trust
The path it takes
Inspiration – the
Light that has led
Me to where I am
Today; it’s wicks
Burning eternally
In oil of hopes; it
Shows me future
As I forge on with
Expectations and
Desires born new

like the structure, the short line lengths made it feel like the words were coming out as short bursts of inspiration which worked together perfectly with the theme…

Your poem feels familiar – not as a poem, but in what it evokes. Inspiration is a friend who’s always close, always whispering to me. I see others chasing after inspiration, and it seems alien. But this feels close and familiar. I liked it.
