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
