Writer's Block

A solitary pencil line, stretched taught on distant snow. Cleaves blank sky from frozen ground. Gives hope of where to go. Accidental thought creates a tree I toil towards its trembling twigs find only that I'm lost and all about me unspoiled virgin white except the fading words from where I've been.
