Inspiration #AtoZChallenge

Source
I sat on the bridge, staring at the sky, waiting for inspiration to come find me.

My mind played futile games with my never-ending thoughts.

Then I remembered how you looked the other day and just like that everything stopped. I smiled, closed my eyes and relished the moment.

The way you held me and kissed me, made my heart flutter. Then and even now.

Suddenly I sat up and held the pen in my hands. As I opened my eyes, I imagined your face on the blank paper.

But all I could write was - “I love you mom!”

    Mom's love, care and sacrifices have been a source of inspiration for me to write. Nice twist in the end :)

      Thanks Prasanna. Doesn't the word "Mom" or "Mother" itself instigate a lot of encouragement and inspiration in us ? :)

    Aw! That was very sweet. I liked the twist at the end because I definitely thought it was about a boy/girlfriend.

    beautiful poem. I almost used the word "inspiration" before I chose "imagination." I really enjoyed reading this.

      Thanks Alyce. :) I guess it's a popular pick for the letter 'I' - Inspiration. Would have loved reading your take on it too.

    Very touching and sweet that it was the mom who was the source of the inspiration.

      That sums up the expression perfectly, Shailaja. :) Nothing.
