Inspiration is like mining,
we choose our spot,
pick up our shovels and pickaxes
and begin to dig.
Hoping and praying to hit diamond
or, at the very least, gold.
We have come to learn
that success is never guaranteed
and more often than not,
we might come up empty
with nothing to show for our efforts.
Other times we might strike fools gold
and be seen as its namesake.
Still, through it all
we will never regret the toil
for with the failures
comes a refinement of talents and skills
and with the refinement inspiration.
Alive Right!!!
