A moment of inspiration

A moment of inspiration

As I got up and rolled the roman blind,
Came, face to face, with full moon night!
Eyes lingered on shadows on its placid face.
Yet, it lit up my being’s dark, empty space.

Pain shifts, as I touch that moment of joy.
Each grass blade is bathed in light and buoyed.
Lilting notes I heard in sound of silence.
A neon street lamp, witness beyond the fence.

A poem riding on a moon beam whispered to me,
Take out paper and ink from locked desk please.
Night, the quiet, a brand new pad and fountain pen,
I sat on a reclining chair near a lamp in my den.

Mood and solitude made me reach for wine.
Laying on its back in a rack, ah an alluring sight!
Carefully selected one and pulled the cork
A whiff, and sip, took care of writer’s block.

It's so lovely having you back on the site and your muse knew it was time to write again. The new beginning of a brand new pad and fountain pen is perfect as your poem rides on a moon beam whispering what you should do. "Touching that moment of joy" stands out for me and I love the last line too! Here's to happy writing Mamta!

It's so odd when that moment of 'ispiration' actually hits. In an elevator, walking across a street, snapped awake by a dream. It doesn't always hit you when you're ready for it. Loved this write, how the writer obediently responds to the Muse and preps herself. I'm seldom already prepped. It just happens and I have to write . Crazy life. tfs

Writer's Block conquered handily and all too deliciously in the romance of a moonlit romance tenderly and irresistibly inviting the heart and pen. Awesome! I love how beautifully the scene unfolded, almost as if each detail made it all come poignantly to life, subtly beckoning, 'til the exquisite moment concludes in a superb finale. Lovely.
