Seeking Inspiration

You sit alone for few hours,
attempting to write using
your own voice and ghost.
First you look around you,
seeking earthly inspiration,
you only can think of green.
Then you look further,
Seeking more inspiration,
and find that humanity
conclude itself to love;
you think about that for
another hour, till you
realize you understood nothing.
You finally look up to the sky,
and start seeking heavenly
inspiration, to find the divine
refusing to provide you
the beauty he has provided
to previous poets.
You finally close your eyes,
to find the kingdom of heaven
within yourself.
And from there you stop
Thinking, and start writing
words that mean nothing,
but your inner soul,
because you are your own
ghost, voice, inspiration
and grace.
