Writers sit with pen in hand or poised solemnly at the keys
waiting for an inspiration or a great epiphany.
The preacher opens the Word of God in search of divine revelation,
pondering the response of the hopeful congregation.
A musician rises every morning with just one thing on the brain,
to play the song he hears in his head repeating over and over again.
The prophet bows his will and bends to the Holy Spirit’s prodding
and hears His words clearly in his heart, not soon forgotten.
Artists stand before the empty canvas, though not empty in their minds.
For a vision of complete perfection who can find?
The gentle Shepherd with staff in hand guides
his sheep to grasses green.
