Keep the Ink Flowing

We have all had to start somewhere picking up your pen by your hand putting down on paper as the mind speaks hoping to achieve something real grand At first others may think you don't have it but persevere on in yourself believe for one day your efforts will bear fruit at the right moment the seed will conceive You may have your ups and downs but ink won't stay forever dry shake it blow it even spill it for it must never be allowed to die Believe in the gift you've been given stand up and don't let the pen slip remember it's your personnel ink writer make sure you hold it's grip Inspiration will surely come to you keep the candle lighted all aglow watch your hand move on the paper so the ink will for ever flow (this is based on the following quote: 'Inspiration is like the air, it always free! but deadly expensive when you breathless, if you know what I mean . Someone somewhere could be in stressed, holding their pen hopeless. Will you be the light in the dark?')

A very encouraging poem for writers, especially those who feel discouraged or dried up. I like the title too.
