It's not always like
this.

The fight against an empty
page...grasping for
every falling
word.

Sometimes it simply happens.

Something of me, though greater
still, speaks in graceful
whispers.

In odd moments...when I put myself
aside, I hear a holy voice.

And I know, somehow, in some larger
way...it's my voice as well.

So I listen, I write.

And sometimes...it's
like that.

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
