Finding Inspiration (2012)

I'm not having much luck today 
Finding inspiration. 
I look, 
Maybe as many others do, 
At the stars before dawn, 
And hope, 
That they will shine light, 
Into my darkness. 

I'm not having much luck today 
Finding inspiration. 
My first taste of tea, 
That would bring me warmth 
And comfort, 
Instantly clearing 
My clouded mind, 
Stands untouched, 
And cold. 

I'm not having much luck today, 
Finding inspiration. 
The sun, 
That dances across my table top, 
Making me smile, 
Has disappeared, 
Seemingly forever, 
Behind it's cloud. 

I'm not having much luck today, 
Finding inspiration. 
The music, 
That plays in my mind 
And on the stereo, 
Is empty, 
The notes feel silent, 
And words mean nothing. 

I haven't had much luck today 
Finding inspiration. 
The breeze of life, 
That picks me up 
And helps me to fly, 
Has gone, 
And not taken me with it. 
My world is still.
