**Inspiration** 
 
 The endless hunt begins as all life does: 
 A single breath - 
 The first of many - 
 A seedling hatched, 
 Free to grow 
 And expand the tree of knowledge 
 One branch at a time, veiled 
 By elder leaves. 
 A solitary bud as winters come and go; 
 It requires more than time 
 For ideas to take root. 
 Men live and die without seeing bloom. 
 My eyes have long watched this mental knot, 
 Wooden is my resolve to witness - 
 Not mere limb 
 Nor countless empty pages added to the living tome - 
 It's nourishment: inspiration. 
 A breeze, quaking dusty foliage 
 The brilliant rays pour through 
 And are quickly blocked 
 As the leaves are free to settle. 
 The momentary sustenance, 
 A crack in the crowded growth, 
 Comes but once, 
 If at all. 
 In that moment, 
 ( Not enough for a word to form 
 Or a heart to beat - 
 A life to start ) 
 A new sheet 
 An extension of everything we know.
