my mind moves about aimlessly
and unsystematically
the terrain is vast
and still no thoughts
…just none
trying to find the inspiration
the words don’t easily appear
context eludes me
and the point is
…why anyway
this wordsmith’s periodic dilemma
having a need to express on paper
yet hampered by my unwilling brain
and fingers tapping, not stamping
…it’s my cross to bear

Those are the trying times – when we try to write and nothing appears, we doubt that we have anything valuable to say, that there is anything original left to write…

Yes, I do wonder that sometimes, always hoping that I’m sharing an original thought.
