Musical Inspiration
If you find writing when it is quiet difficult, but find traditional music equally difficult to write to, why not write along to this ambient piece written specifically for this hour’s prompt.

Free Verse – 2023 My Lessons Learned
Procrastination is often my downfall and my muse.
Conflict is just a part of my internal nature.
Devotion is as much a duty as a desire.
Exhaustion and eternal state of being far beyond tired.
Humbling, the chance to be creator and source of inspiration.
Reflection, a daily practice that I never seem to remember.
Balance, a constant battle from which I slip from side to side.
Regrowth of old habits which I thought had died.
Kindness, a mercy which I never seem to show myself.
Recovery takes time, but it is worth taking time to rest.
Perseverance is knowing when to push, and when to push aside.
