A Light from Behind
Inspiration for most
Is sought from the extraordinary
A peculiar miracle
Expected to enlighten
It comes not from routine
But from mere spontaneity
A change in events
Formed from imperfect perfection
Yet something so simple
Evoked a spark within me
It was very common
And strangely unexpected
With time it should show
My thoughts I could not make out
Questions with no answer
Was all I made out
I was immersed and cautious
While I became more oblivious
My minded clouded
Failing to recognize it all
After spending all my time
Waiting for enlightenment
Searching for that moment,
that thing, or that person
My inspiration followed me
Picking me up
As I fell once again,
It silently supported me
Patient and undemanding
It traveled always with me
I turned every corner, searching
Unaware it was behind me
As I gave up searching
Filled with utter disappointment
I turned around and saw light
With open arms, they smiled
