The Inspiration Gnome

The Inspiration Gnome

It happened to me today,
Like a light in the quiet night.
It spun my mind into disarray.
A rude awakening
In the calm of the lingering dawn.

The Inspiration Gnome,
It kicked me in the head.
With its rude and heavy foot
It kicked me out of bed.

I sat down at my desk,
Let the insanity flow out.
Pressed it to the pristine page,
Where words can breathe
And speak about
All things in their glorious lines and visage.

And with a kick,
It all pours out.
Though on a schedule,
It is not.
A rude awakening
In the calm of the lingering dawn.
A bud of a dream brought on by the clout.
A story that hasn’t been told yet.
