Empty Pages

A Stevie Winwood song,
A hit for his band "Traffic"
And it really says so much
For those of us staring at these "empty pages"...
How insightful musical geniuses can be
Yet how often they derail their own lives
With drugs, and other wanton abandonment

I salute Winwood for apparently bucking that trend
I await the day ahead,
Where I find ink,
To fill my pen,
And add substance...
To the empty pages
Of my life.
