This is the tale of my
inspiration… Originally I wrote this in
Journalism class for an assignment on writing columns. I liked it so much that I rewrote it, edited
it, and practically memorized it. So,
here it is…

«Every time I see him and his grungy green
jacket, I feel like dancing, singing, writing. But he doesn’t even know my name. ‹Although
it seemed like just another boring day in study hall,
today was different. Someone else had
entered our realm. ‹The band
room is home to many of us this hour.
Some practice band music, many do homework, and most goof off. But not him. ‹Even his
physical appearance marks him as different.
His dark hair, solid build, delicate features, and small circle
earrings make him stand out. But it
isn’t his looks that make me love him.
It is what happens when he sits down at the piano. ‹Beautiful
music fills the air. As minor keyed
melodies find their way around the corner and to my ear, I am moved. I take out my pen and begin to write. ‹Writing
is my art. As the words dance onto the
page, my story is heavy with the same emotion held by the melody in the air. ‹The
master musician has entered my quiet realm and made an impact on my
life. He has become my creativity, my
inspiration, and my muse. All with the
motion of his hands on the piano. ‹Every
person has their art. Everyone has
someone who draws out their creative side.
I have found mine. «And someday, someday, he’ll know who I am.» |
