Finding Inspiration

When inspiration

Is what you need.

And it's nowhere to be found.

Sit yourself down.
Open your eyes

To what is deep inside.
Ask a clam,

But not a ham.
That may sound crazy
But it's true
Take my advice
It's good for you.

Any grown man or woman

Will certainly know

You can't talk to a ham.

Hams show off to a crowd.

They only talk of themselves

Because they are so falsely proud.

They won't listen,

While they preen and glisten

In their self reflecting  mirror.

If inspiration is what you seek,

Go to the clam

Who is kind and meek.

The clam will listen

And teach you to glisten

On the inside.

And that is where

inspiration chooses to reside.
Observe a clam and your will see

Just how calm it can be

While allowing inspiration

To flow in of its own accord,

Not allowing self-indulgent discord

To block inspiration's entry.
Emulate the clam

Disregard the ham

And inspiration will certainly flow

Making you happy enough to glow.
