Sweet Inspiration

A Poem by Jim Hughes

I stand alone on a sleepless night
hoping ideas will form and take flight
Struggling with which words to write 
Looking for sweet inspiration. 

My mind is wandering while I am pacing
My moments of  peril again I am facing
Tender moments I'm gently retracing
Searching for sweet inspiration

But the embers are dying, there'll be no fire
Inspiration has chosen not to inspire
So again tonight I must retire
Still hoping for sweet inspiration.

I wanted to share this poem my husband wrote a long time ago. I think it is worthy of being published. It describes my plight right now.
