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
