translation: May Your Springtide be Happy and auspieces!!!


Inspration
By Tara Bradford

Inspiration surrounds me
it's there in your eyes, a look, a wink
its' magic eclipses words
and is glimpsed in your smile


It's evident in the colours of nature
and spills from the laughter of children
It rings in the words of friends
and books and poetry of others


It shouts from the heights of mountains
and whispers in the ripple of brooks
It whistles in the wind
and beckons to me in dreams


It peeks through friends' imaginative art
or shines through the old masters
it's a heart-shaped paper on a sidewalk
or a pyramid formed in stone


It's footprints in the sand
and ocean waves crashing against rocks
it's sailing on San Francisco Bay
and the view from Russian Hill


It's in the lined faces of old people
and the clapping hands of babies
it's offered by an open heart
or a thoughtful gesture


It's found through a prayer
or someone's bravery
it's forged through courage
and willingness to risk


It's sheltered in a worthy cause
and waiting in buried treasure
it's wrapped in a fight for justice
and tied with hope for our future


Inspiration surrounds me
