Dry as Dust

Blocked
barred
creativity 
stagnate and dull
my soul dry as dust
creativity scattered by winds
of life’s unpredictable 
roller coaster til my mind casts about for words to craft in phrases poetic or profound.
Seeking the nourishing words 
of other authors a movement
towards at least putting
a grudging shoulder to the blocks to moisten my writer’s soul.

“Who is more to be pitied, a writer bound and gagged by policemen
 or one living in perfect freedom who has nothing to say?”
~ Kurt Vonnegut
