Need Ink

Need ink Written: by Tom Wright 7/10/2019 Thoughts need ink to have their birth on paper, And entirely, I’ve depended, upon God for both. Some thoughts have had the lifespan of a vapor, Leaving me scant time for meaningful growth. Now and then, I feel, my ink well nears depletion, Because thoughts don’t flow, with ease, to pen. I’m drawn to question, is my work near completion Or will God, merely refill my inkhorn again.

The ink will continue to be refilled and your poetry enjoyed by many. We all have times of being blocked before renewed even better. This is a great one :)

I hope your ink well continues to spill ink for many years Tom - my muse has been on a break since I spent a week with hubby at the cancer hospital in June but she is finally starting to behave again!:-) hugs jan xx
