Staring at a blank computer screen
Looking for somewhere to start
Digging to unearth some emotion
Which is buried in my heart

Fingers hover over the keyboard
Hunting for something to say
Ploughing through the sludge and slurry
That is filling my head today

Gazing numbly out of the window
Searching for inspiration
Finding nothing only the grey
Which clouds my imagination

Flicking through the pages of a book
Hoping to ignite a spark
Pursuing creative motivation
To guide me through the dark

Closing my eyes for a few moments
Trawling the depths of my mind
Sifting through old memories
That now are so difficult to find

Opening my eyes, look at my screen
Staring at the words I see
Shocked and surprised that something
Can come from nothing, how can that be
