No!
A needle jammed
in the groove of busyness.
No room to think.
Full!
Blah!
Words tumble,
meaningless,
inconsequential,
Stop!
Wait.
Ideas will flow,
words, pictures, colour.
Fingers poise,
Naught!
Come on!
Try harder.
Sentence, shape, tone.
Empty page stares.
Can’t!
Walk.
Legs stretch,
Blood pumps, lungs fill,
Body aching.
Breathe.
Slow.
The track winds forward,
backward, out of view.
I am in between.
Here.
Look.
Somewhere to rest.
That looks good.
Pour myself a cuppa.
Taste.
Listen.
Cockatoo, wren, thornbill,
eucalypt, tea-tree, poa,
waterfall, gust.
Hear.
Look.
Olive leaf, pink granite,
blue trunks, sky and mist.
Tint, tone, hue.
See.
Try.
Pen aloft, pencils strewn,
Mind fills, hands busy.
Words, pictures, ideas
Yes.
