I look up to the sky and sun
To give me inspiration
They tell me that they’re down to none
Due to past generations
I look for it in every place,
Sound, sight, smell, and sensation;
in every person, every face
Throughout the population
It’s caused many great achievements
The mother of creation
It is the fuel and aliment
Of our imaginations
It is the enzyme that we need
For our minds’ activation
With it the stars we can exceed
There are no limitations
I’ve learned that it cannot be found
With one’s determination
It sneaks up on us with no sound
And no anticipation
This exotic creature strikes us
When we’re in isolation
I look down at my book pages
And see it in quotations
