Where have you gone?

Where have you gone?

A Poem by Dave W.
"

Seems I can only write about having nothing to write about.......

"
As an unwritten page I stare 
search 
ponder 

I know the feelings are there 
deep within they stir 

yet to pen 
to proclaim 
to give life 
and form 
and eloquence 
I am at a loss 

This which has been scrawled 
is the best I can muster 

Has this gift that came so sudden 
in like manner made its exit 

God i hope not 

what shall I call myself 
"Former poet" 

Shall I wait until death calls again 
to pull myself back from the ledge and write 

Do I need to bleed 
for the hunger of the pen to feed 
the words that connect 

Do I go for low hanging fruit 
of the changing season displayed 
in lines of four and a rhyming scheme 

Lost 
alone 
and in shadow I abide 

Fears of worthlessness and want 
are faithful companions 

Yet my eyes look the horizon 
for intuitions light to return 
of that I'm sure 

Then this dried well 
will spring to life 

The desolate 
season will pass 

Writing will pour forth 
as a flood of inspiration fills my soul 
to an overflowing crescendo 
of Muse's revelation 
and I her tool wielded with elegance and grace
