Favorite Quote:
"Just do right." (Maya Angelou)


It’s that time again.

The time I go to my desk,

And wait.

I wait while the moon sends the world to rest.

I wait while the lamp shines a white

On the paper in front of me.

I wait for the holy nectar that is

Inspiration.


I think of other things I’ve seen.

I think of things I’ve made.

I wait for an idea

Of what to create next.


The clock says I must rest,

I still wait for a few more minutes.

But the notebook remains empty another night.

Nothing came to mind.
