Nothing.
My mind is a void of nothing
Blankness overtaking churning depths and oceans of imagination
A great idea.
Swept in by the current into arm's reach, seized by my pen's ink as it is written on paper in the dead of night
Blank.
Blanker than purgatory
I search and desperately gather all knowledge and explore the vast recesses of my mind
I run through deserts and into canyons, but now I am lost and cannot find my way
Oceans.
Oceans of ideas, pouring down like rain, flooding me, I cannot breathe, I feel I do not have enough life to live to spread them--
Choked.
Choked by the hold of nothingness
Choked by an absence of thoughts that once circled through my head
Circling.
Whirring, buzzing, writing, creating, this is my home, this is who I am
Notes.
Notes of nothing, trying to make a worthy word, pushback from my mind as it refuses to cooperate
Picture.
My picture is done, there it is, through all the oceans, choking, circling, blankness, notes, great ideas and notes, my picture has evolved, and here it is now, standing before me
Glory
