WRITER'S BLOCK

I hear it time and time again

“I’m fighting writer’s block”

And wonder if it isn’t simply

Self fullfilling talk



I listen to the problem

“I have tried so hard to write

But words don’t seem to come

And so it doesn’t turn out right”



They ask me if I’ve ever faced

This problem by and by

Well honestly I haven’t

And I really don’t know why



But pondering the question

Leads me to a thought or two

Like, for some reason words flee

If you try too hard to do



I think the words we search for  

Hide in inspiraiton’s lair

And wait for quiet moments

When the way is finally clear



And then they drift upon the heart

And mind as falling snow

So may I offer this advice

Relax and take it slow



Don’t try to force the topic

Don’t decide what you will write

Just write whatever comes in quiet

Moments of your life
