Gone, Arid, Bolted

What do you do

when inspiration walks away

even though

you know you've got more to say?



What do you do

when the writing well runs dry

but still

fountains of tears are left to cry?



What do you do

when your muse puts up a block

and all the doors

have been shut closed and locked?



What do you do?

You wish for her return,

you hope the tears are enough

to fill her again,

and you pray you can bring her

down to revealing where she

kept the key.

Oh cool, I lost my muse also, what's next? I have a poem about this somewhere. Lydia
