Inspiring wind
The drones seeking a universal language
become pessimistic as a shadow hovers
between them and their ambition.
The sombre dance of the majority
tries to rule the thoughts of individual creativity.
A muse to awaken a sleepy town,
where everything that seems to be
perfect is struggling with the boredom of normality.
Breathing in and out leaves an
unpleasant taste when there is no inspiration.
We search for guiding stars and
walk around in circles looking for motivation.
Then a breath and fresh air ignites passion,
the kind that leaves us burning a candle
at both ends. The chill slithers
up and down our spines and leave us
feeling more alive.

I like this a lot Sugar. Quite the message in this and one that could really stand to be heard and taken into heart. We need to get back to individuality, creative thinking, etc. It scares me how society is more and more moving away from and not appreciating the arts of all forms. Kinda how I took it in anyway. We are becoming rather "stale" anymore these days it seems. No, "passion" for lack of better word. Great write. Sorry if I didn't take it in quite as you intended. Regardless it's a wonderful write.

I agree with Michael. I couldn't have said it any better, but I love the breath of fresh air at the end bringing inspiration and individuality.

Thanks Michael, you got the message well. I think we waste a lot of time doing nothing these days, on our phones for instance. We use AI to compose and don’t spend the time developing our talents anymore. We rely on google to find answers to everything. We don’t need to think for ourselves anymore.
Thanks Cat

Sugar to borrow a star trek term we are becoming assimilated into the collectivity like the Borg. Where is the passion when we need it the most? I think it can be found in poets like you my friend. One of my favorite phrases from a writer is "the poetry economy." Long ago architecture was poetic as well as most writing. Now buildings are standardized as well as the tests we give our children. So sad. We need an infusion of that wild creative spirit and we need it badly. Thank you so much for giving me something to deeply feel and contemplate.

Thank you John, I think society is still creative, like with AI. But the masses are just being led by technology these days.
