Uninspired

I sit here uninspired. 
Creativity burning but 
page blank - staring back 
with vacant eyes. 

Searching for a word 
a beginning, a flash of 
memory, an image, something 
to start the literary flow..... 

....but no cerebral utterance 
perforates the thought waves. 
The page remains blank. 
Void of creation. 

The well of wise words arid. 
Lying languishing in the 
dried up valley of conception. 
A winter of discontent... 

Uninspiring, tiring, 
devouring, sapping energy. 
A bud of Spring perforates 
the frozen ground - creativity reborn.
