Waiting for words to come,
Wasting time,
Watching clouds drift by,
Letting life slip away.
Inspiration doesn't fall into your lap,
Fall into place,
Snuggle up in a perfect corner,
With perfect words to match.
You can't write without doing,
Or do without trying,
Or try without living,
Without life, you have a problem.
Sometimes you have to stop,
Rest awhile beneath the shade of a tree,
Watch the clouds drift by,
And write without inspiration.
Challenge yourself to something new,
Do something difficult,
While enjoying something peaceful,
Maybe then the words will come.
