Wave Rider
As he lays stretched out on his parent's sofa,
Performing his well practices seasoned loafer,
He begins to get a familiar sensation in his mind,
So he arranges the table, all he needs nicely aligned,
He takes a sip of discount cola to quench his thirst,
Before settling down to await the oncoming creative outburst.
With his back leaning against one arm, a knee up and a leg on the other arm,
He picks up his freshly sharpened pencil and plenty of paper, totally calm,
The energy is building up inside him, he is nearly there,
He could be drawing or writing, or he could the energy share,
A smile dances across his face, he can feel it in his veins,
As the muses carefully unshackle his creativity's chains.
A tidal wave of pure creative energy washes over him,
Rushing from his mind to his chosen messenger limb,
He paints scenes perfectly with his natural literary talent,
Choosing his words carefully for all he wishes to represent,
Line after line of poetry and prose flow onto each page,
As he recalls old issues shelved, kept in cold storage.
He revisits private, comical and crucial moments in time,
Knowing that his creative peak is only a short climb,
He left base camp behind hours ago and is making good progress,
He has visited many emotions on the way from sadness to happiness,
When he reaches the peak he admires the view before starting his descent,
Happy with the quality of his yield he returns eventually, fully content.
