Don'T Fight It - Write It

If only I had the will to fight it a sword to smite it an injustice to right it a famous quote to cite it... But of late I teeter and totter bumble and stumble creak, 'cos I'm weak drop the ball or fumble... If only I could take a pill to restore my iron will to bring back the thrill to leap for joy with verve and skill... But we both know there's no such pill not in valley low or high on hill So what to do? I guess I will capture lost glory with a quill No more to fight it!! ~ Just to write it!

I need that quill sometimes Gershon, is it magic? That wretched tabula rasa, my blank slate. I need to read more of your poems to fill my own slate creatively.

Gershon at least you can pretend when you write, lol. So writing about these emotions they are relived inside, so my guess is you still got it upstairs in the brain, now if it can work its way down. lol

What I retain 'upstairs' ain't nothing compared to all the junk I got in the cellar! lol. Thanks, Michael
