Hi! I hope you will enjoy my take on a struggle I think many of you know. Thank you.

BLANK PAGE

Across blank paper, thoughts fly free.
Solitary chance to think:
Absence... Possibility?

Reading others, hear and see
gifts of muses interlink
across blank paper. Thoughts fly free.

Poised to soar but, silently
worries loom at armor's chink.
Absence, possibility.

Gathered words a turning key.
Heartbeat races, mus'n't blink.
Across blank paper, thoughts fly free.

Tangled in anxiety,
facing gnawing fears a brink.
Absence, possibility.

Rising glee of certainty
lifting quill to unfurl ink
across blank paper. Thoughts fly free!
Absence, possibility!
