Intuition
A screen demanding input
My fingers over keys
My mind a blank canvas
Mocking, taunting me
I wonder what has happened
For nothing comes to mind
Maybe it's the curse
Of the mystery we call time
I sigh and give a tap
A letter on the screen
Then another, and another
As I slowly unfurl my wings
Inner gears working madly
The world, I tune it out
I close my eyes briefly
As my fingers dance about
I imagine it in my brain
A slash and then a stroke
A once blank and dull canvas
It with my touch awoke
And as I paint it in my mind
I give a final tap
I shut my laptop with a smile
Declaring "It's a wrap".
