Inspiration

by Elizabeth Challinor

A faint tingling

Arrives

Out of nowhere

Sending out feelers

For words

The waiting is delicious

Reminds me of choir practice

Shaking up and loosening our bodies together

To tune into the notes

But mind gets clever

Won't surrender

Sends out hard edged words

To stand up on

And feel tall

Soul begins to slip away

Wait!

Please stay!

I just tripped up on ego

Ego frowns

Words come crashing down

Body expands

Space

Light

Freedom

A sudden splash

Of multicoloured paint!
