writer's block, forgotten words, hope (and other thoughts)

trying to find the words that perfectly fit the commotion rumbling inside of my mind

like thunder without lightning to complete the storm

that rages on and on

spilling itself like dried-up ink in an old book

that had been forgotten and left to collect the dust of generations ago

the seeds of inspiration inside of my mind have gone unwatered for so long

it is my paralyzing fear that perhaps they have dried up...

yet, 

i am holding onto salvation and hope

until my fingers turn numb and blue

grasping at the straws of liberation and unbounded infinitude

existence and creation do not recognize any limits

neither do words as they stream into the depths of  the unconscious 

nor do dreams when they appear unimaginably vivid

forgotten words that surface just as innately as they disappear

like one of God's many miracles

like the universe itself that consistently flows 

oblivious to all that is rotten, dying, withering away

life grows from the muddiest crevices 

in the most neglected parts of the planet

so i water the seeds of my mind

and words teem to complete themselves

in an ode to fill the once-lost gaps of hope.
