Sometimes inspiration doesn’t shout—it flickers. It blinks in the sky, then blinks in us. This process of finding inspiration is what this forty-four-word poem is about: the quiet moment when something vast reaches into something small, and suddenly, we feel lit from the inside. This forty-four-word poem is known as a Quadrille, presented by the dVerse community.
Catch the Flame
Sparkle spills from sky to soul—
a flare, a flicker, a mythic goal.
Galaxies blink, then we blink back,
eyes lit like ritual track.
From vast to vein, we catch the flame,
inspiration whispering our name.
It’s a reminder that growth doesn’t always come in big leaps. Sometimes it’s a spark—a glance, a line, a feeling. The stars do their thing, and somehow, we do ours. We look up, and something in us looks forward.
Whether you’re writing, parenting, coaching, or just trying to make sense of the day, that flicker matters. It’s the start of something. And if you’re lucky, it’s the start of you finding inspiration.
