NaPoWriMo 2021 Day 25

Advice

‘You do know, don’t you?’
the Wise Man said kindly,
‘All creative people
struggle,
it’s part of the package.’

Remember the hope
that burns and scars?

You can search for the river
and wait for the boat,
to ride on the current
of peace and contentment,

Or get up each morning
and grasp the spark,
to burn yourself
a little more.
