Inspiration. Poem by Ravi Panamanna

It is like surf on the waves
That floats in the mind
And lives for a moment,
To vanish into nothingness.

It is like a gentle breeze
That floats over the dales
And embraces for a moment,
To travel into distant lands.

It is like a musical note
That ticks in the heart
And remains for a moment,
To melt into oblivion.

It is like a ray of light
That travels across the space
And disappears in a flash,
To leave the mental space so dark.

'Genius is one percent inspiration
And ninety nine percent perspiration'-
So said Thomas Alva Edison,
Truly said- that single moment is enough.
