Looking For Inspiration

My time is running out, and there are too many decisions to be made...

"Looking For Inspiration"

Looking for inspiration
I see faces
Try to close my eyes
To avoid theirs
So I may listen to the world
Moving along always
At a quicker pace than I can run.

Looking for inspiration
I ask my heart for it's pleasures
And the fear it conceals from my soul
Who seeks to join the quest
For the spark
To ignite the moment
Where sight and sound
Reality and dream
Combine
And my pen is awakened
To spill forth contents
Of frozen understanding.

Looking for inspiration
I worry that I pass
Over the very desire
An opportunity unknown
But no less powerful
In the realm of possibility;
Worry
In my pursuit of the world
Eventually decisions will have to be made
Stood upon
As to what force will compel me
For now there is teetering balance
As I look for inspiration
But fear truly finding it...
