Inspiration

Going through the motions,

People crowd around me,

So many things to look at,

But we never really see,

People, nature, inanimate things,

Symbolism, politics, and what those bring,

One persons trash,

Is another's treasure,

Can you look at a flower and tin can,

and see both their measure?

I'm coming up blank, facing a block,

Into my brain, I wish ideas would flock,

But alas, the canvas is clear,

I'm as empty as a drum,

Can you please answer me this...

Where does your inspiration come from?
