Writer's Block

Drops of garbled nonsense leak from my pen to the thirsty paper... 
A futile effort to create and contrast...
To sketch out my deepest thoughts and dreams...
To mold just the right words into a visual landscape of my soul...
My mind is blank and weary... 
Like stagnate water on a hot, September day...
No breeze... Just stillness...
Just a calm, stingy tranquility that leaves me no inspiration...
I am seeking a humble muse. 
A windy day forcing the water to rage... 
A flood of utter creativity to break this dull dam...

Darrell, This pretty much sums up where I am at, at the moment. Definitely looking for something...feeling for an answer, eternal freedom for the slave. Best wishes, and thanks. Have a great day.
