Write Things Down

Write Things Down What am I going to write? Is has been hours without an idea The sun cast the last of its light hours ago There is no moon to shine in the cold night The stars are blocked by late summer clouds Music is missing from the radio Some politician is droning on trying to save his job I had so many thoughts earlier in the day Why didn't I write them down? My mind is blank as the clock strike four My eyes strain and my head aches in the dim light Ideas are just avoiding my efforts to find them Why didn't I write things down like I should? My eyes close and I drift off to sleep Tomorrow is another day I know I will have ideas about what to write I will remember to write them down Tomorrow night I will be able to write If I just remember to write things down
