Inspiration will cause a person to delve into their innermost soul and find energy that will keep them going beyond what they thought was the limit of their endurance.
It banishes loneliness and darkness.
A surge of joy from the centre of your physical and emotional being.
A focus on the horizon to which one steers the ship
A source of patience, stubborn determination and strategy
A light that obliterates the dark areas
The lance of heroism you didn’t think you had
And when the task is attained it leaves you empty
but replete
Sometimes inspiration is cut off.
Funding is removed, or a show is cut, or someone else is chosen
You find yourself slithering down the long green snake on a game of snakes and ladders
Right to the bottom.
At square 2.
Sitting in the kitchen trying to throw a die
Hoping to find the new ladder
The next climb.
