Verses to a Manx man made of inspiration

The room with the winds of inspiration is filled

Paintings, poems, and songs

In wonderful harmony together live.

Music is in the air flying

Together with a voice

Deeply feeling the words in the song

And two thick hands tenderly caressing the chords

of a brown old guitar.

The man with blue eyes covered in glass

And a face covered with a dense white beard

Is made of inspiration and nothing else

And is pouring his emotions in paper and silk.

The man with musical hands

Brushing them through the cat’s fur

as she purrs in great delight

as if saying “I love you too”

the man made of inspiration

fills all hearts with content

and a flood of imagination

because he is a character too.

He is named as the symbol in his flag

And does not seem to see

How inspiring he is

Why does he not look within himself?

Thanks for leading me through

your childhood memories

and showing me

the treasures of your heart
