Seeking inspiration

I've read about and sometimes felt the mysterious qualms dealing with inspiration. Here's a very short piece I wrote on the same.

Oh inspiration! Art thou lingering around?

I am called upon, I think, but dost thou actually beckon me in person?

I stare into the abyss, unknownst of thy presence;

and when I regain my focus, I have already lost thee.

Oh inspiration! Yesteryear, you visited me - with thy whispering words and archaic methods.

I was not ready. Will I ever be? Lest you come knocking at my wooden door with loud thuds and I may be asleep.
