Sitting Waiting For that turn of phrase That thought That word That starts the pen in motion Attempting to define a nebulous notion Much as the Ancients must have When sifting through that field of stars Connecting the dots in the black of night Endeavoring to define the unfathomable Staring into the sky inside my eyelids I try to find an inspiration Within the bright spots displayed there The Warrior The Lover The Artist Always careful to avert my gaze From the empty places in between For there is where I’ll find the topics That I cannot yet visit And so, I remain Sitting Waiting |

Look to the North Star always constant always giving always there tonight, when the moon is full... find it, just there... and your pen shall have new ink and your mind be filled with muse. |

Always careful to avert my gaze From the empty places in between For there is where I’ll find the topics That I cannot yet visit Ed, this is just beautiful. You amaze me, ya know? "If I know there's no possible way I can change something....I push it to the back room |

Ed...Isn't it interesting what an inspired poem comes out of being uninspired? Sure do understand this feeling! |

Hmmmmm Feels more like astronomy to my ol' bones. The dark places in the night that I am drawn to . . . But, never mind, I like this anyway. Well done, Sir. s.a.g. |

My eyelids aren't nearly as well decorated. |
