You Inspire Me
by Ken HarnischYou inspire me
And sometimes when
I am in need I will call to you
And if you are not there
I will whisper some conjuration
That will bring your sweetest memory
Back to me.
I cannot write of you
In the mornings anymore, and in the
Afternoons we both complain that
Life has taken us so far from
The pen that we cannot find
Our hearts again. I mourn that
Small, but significant loss of you;
The passion that had me
Sitting here till dawn
Penning words in fire and ice
In beautiful accompaniment.
But more than that, I miss
The simple reality that you
Could wring words from my soul
When I thought the sponge was twisted dry.
It seems to be twisted now, and yet,
Im writing on, and I know
You must be inspiring me
