PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I wanted to go where the greats have gone

I wanted to see what the greats have seen

I wanted to believe in the freedom of a dream

enticed by beauty

not tainted by the falsification of reality

but by the glory

of siezing the moment.

The present was always a gift,

even as it was fleeting just as fast

as the awareness that captured it-

in the moment.

I wanted to eat the way the greats have eaten;

after days and weeks of hunger

living as a starving artist does

and then relishing in the feast of inspiration

and confirmation that peace lives within

and that is the true fuel to the feast.

That is the way the greats get to be.
