WHERE IT BEGINS
A thought or idea is how it begins;
A vision or purpose that comes from within
It keeps coming back to you, day after day,
A thought you can’t shake and it won’t go away
So you find a retreat, where alone with your muse
You’ve shut the world out and there you refuse
To surrender to sleep, for this quest you can’t slake
Until you make it happen, whatever it takes
Cicero had it, Spielberg and Voltaire,
The list never ends of those who have dared
Take command of their pens; their battles were fought
Alone with their dreams that began as a thought.
