Where Are The Words

White glaring empty
Where are the words
That kept me awake
Inspiration singing
Its aria when all I
Wanted was to sleep
Oh fickle mind
I can recall
What I had for lunch
But not the verses
That had me tossing
And turning
Tonight I will sleep
With pen in hand
To capture
Inspiration’s message
And write it
In black ink
Upon my bed sheets
