Get yourself a pencil to carry around, <br />And a piece of paper to write down your thoughts. <br />Inspiration can always be found, <br />Even if it's not actively sought. <br /> <br />Look everywhere, listen, and smell, <br />And don't forget to write things down. <br />Even if you see and listen well, <br />What you have seen, might not come back around. <br /> <br />That's where your pencil plays it's part. <br />And with your pencil, there's no regrets. <br />Especially when pertaining to the heart, <br />The pencil remembers, what the mind forgets. <br /> <br />9/8/10 Alton Texas<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-pencil/
