BLOCKED
By Chet Dixon
When ink dries up and pens grow silent
Neither have gone to sleep.
Sometimes a pen has nothing to do
When creation is stirring deep.
Developing words may grow like mosaics
Slowly building its foundation blocks,
Starting with stones strong and clear
Like sounds of Townhall Clocks.
The creation wait may not be long
Or it may keep one waiting and fearing
While it mixes events, thoughts and space
Before the ink starts reappearing.
As I bravely wait I’ll consider a truth
That I can never change.
I know that creation’s mysterious nature
May have chosen to rearrange…
Everything.
