Inspiration Poem

By Sue Ellson

 

What does it take
To follow through
To do what you say
And then make sure you do

 

Is it within
From will or rage
Is it from others
Who are wise and sage

 

Is it from hope
Of what could happen
A blind faith followed
Despite no pattern

 

To truly be inspired
Don’t wait for a reason
Just take the first step
And find joy in every season

 

I wrote this poem as a way to reflect on my experience at the Busybird Publishing Open Mic Nights. These are held at there premises on a monthly basis and they give all creatives an opportunity to share their writing, poetry, music and songs in front of a live audience.

The event is filmed and streamed on Facebook Live and I have received permission to re-publish my presentations online and I am extremely grateful to Kev Howlett and Les Zig for this opportunity – for myself and for others.

To be a part of an inclusive space that honours the contributions of all artists is very special. Long may it continue! With love, Sue Ellson 🙂
