My Pen

my mind is blank 
 the pen is writing nothing

 I have covered the left and right flank
 where is the beauty I’m hoping 

 close my eyes and let go
 trying to let the white and blue lines 
 excite my mind

 remember how the pen used to flow 
 has my life stopped or is it just behind

 thinking of all the poets
 and when their minds hit the wall
 
 what is that they create  
 could be spring, summer, winter or fall 

 or could be nothing at all
 but this morning 

 the pen is writing
