And The Flow Begins

Everyday it happens so many times
a word or phrase catches my ear
and the flow begins, a poem is born

A song resonates inside my head
calling forth emotions to my pen
and the flow begins, words spill forth

I see an image that beckons my soul
to create a picture formed of verse
and the flow begins, painting a poem

An event fills me with persistent emotions
nagging my brain until it releases them
and the flow begins, cleansing my mind

A passing remembrance of a lost love
causes feelings past to swirl inside me
and the flow begins, restoring calm within

Talking to a friend about their life and times
strikes a sympathetic chord in my soul
and the flow begins, capturing music to paper

A dream lingers after I awake to the day
demanding my consciousness to capture it
and the flow begins, dream inspired poetry

Hopes and fears run through my mind
bringing my innermost self into the light
and the flow begins, a poem bares my soul

Thoughts of the one I love, her voice in my ears
sets my soul on fire with passion and desire
and the flow begins, words express my love

The flow begins unbidden, but unstoppable
words and emotions threatening a maelstrom
if they are held back, so I just let them flow
