INSPIRATION

This next poem may well be one that you've already seen elsewhere but feel free to read it again, rather than not read it at all.  👳

'Inspiration'

I guess we get inspiration

'Messages from the deep’

Maybe we find them as we daydream
Between consciousness and sleep?
“I woke at three one morning
I was apparently dying
I called my wife to say farewell
Not meaning to start her crying”

She called for help, which duly arrived
Two ‘Paras’ were asking me questions
I was breathing well with my heart lub-dupping
They came up with two suggestions
Was I making a fuss and just dreaming?
Or was I knocking at death’s door?
They decided to take me to hospital
For ‘experts’ to find out more.

My vital signs were monitored
With a team of medics on my case
The Boss in charge said I was 'fit as a flea'
Which put a smile upon my face
We all, without fail, have our axes to grind
We each have a cross to bear
I am one of the lucky ones
With loved ones willing to share

I've been given a glimpse of the future

And I now know I’ve ‘seen the light’
Nobody knows when his time is up
But I know, for now, I'm alright
My reason for starting a ‘Blog’ as above
Is that I’m sure I shall get a reaction
I know I shall not be the only one
To have experienced a similar distraction

My motive for choosing to set up a store
To pass on some thoughts of my own
Is because often I wake between dusk and dawn
When a number of seeds are sown
I wish to spread a few of my rhymes
To impart a few ideas
I hope to share some humour
If only with some of my peers.
