As If From Nowhere

Валерий Шувалов
To write, you need a story,
in other words, a plot.
Sometimes I'm digging fOr it,
in other cases not.

At night or in the morning
(which is a bit unfair)
it comes without warning,
as if from nowhere.

It's like a gulp of water
of some fantastic kind
which helps establish order
in my chaotic mind.

It's tempting and inviting,
looks like a ray of hope.
I take my pen, start writing -
and then I cannot stop...
