Momentary loss,
Where my thoughts still to nothing
And no words will cross
To my fingers no words spring
And I revel there
In the stillness of my lack,
Just being nowhere,
Then reality is back
And calm is disappearing.

There are lucid moments, and perversely, most lucid in NOTHING.

damn.

grin.

I like this much. Not the typical play on writer's block, no, not the professor...

YOU REVEL IN IT.

excellent.

Thank you, Serenity,
Pleased you enjoyed,
But
Why do you assume this is about writers block?
Why is it not about the calming of the spirit similar to mediation,
An intentional thing.
I revel in the calm,
Something rare in my life in the city
Where the cars fill the streets at all hours of the night
And domestic disputes become similar to a bad radio that won’t turn off.
Then again
Isn’t poetry up to the misconstruing of the reader
To pull their meaning from the words?

It's all about the inkblots, I guess.

And you should be more careful with the ink,
Perhaps
You should stick to pencil

I should stick to pencil?

ME?

I think not.

I have a natural prediliction for pilfering gel pens...and I'm altogether too fond of the "delete" button.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

pencil! He says!

wicked grin.

I should take my own advice and sleep tho...that's at close to shades of lead gray as I get, me friend!

I call it the Zoned Area. It is almost like your mind and flesh are numb at the same time. I don't know why this happens...sometimes I think it is the way the overwhelmed mind can find peace. I do know you expressed this state of mind perfectly. I know exactly what you are talking about.
