Our existence
Lives through fire
And ice
ordeals
Racing through myself,
When I lose
time to write
The whisper of my breath
…. the rhythm of the heart
Makes me unsure of my footing
I
realize…
It’s moronic to shut down writing;
I pick
up the steam
Write….edit…write…erase…
Tantalize
my thoughts….
My choice of words creates a vivid image
Poetry
flowsssssssss…surges….pursues me
I grant it to stream through me
-Oh, it energizes like a draught of wine
Playful is the promise of music-
Poetry has
music, a motion
…ah,
it’s a gift-
- gives beginning of new life!
- gives beginning of new life!
Though some people say that writer’s block doesn't
actually exist, the fact remains that we do have trouble writing at some point of time. The possible reasons for it are myriad: busy schedule and anxiety, a life
change…almost anything!! Part of dealing with this is, (for whatever has
sparked it,) accepting that it is inevitable to have periods of down-time….No human experience is unique, but each of us has a way
of putting language together that is ours alone....
Coming back to blogging after a long break feels
wonderful. :-)

ReplyDeleteHow true...and that is the saving grace, Vandana. Thanks :))

ReplyDeletesmiles...i wrote on writing today too....its like breathing, if we stop breathing we die, for a writer, it is much the same in not writing....
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you picked up the steam again, Panchali. As you said, it really is an energizing experience when one manages to accomplish it. By the way, I had missed your words.
ReplyDeleteWords do return because they are never gone. They sometimes do give us the time to relax and rejuvenate our imagination.
ReplyDeleteWriting a poem is indeed an enriching experience. Well-penned. :-)

ReplyDeleteWriting is the next most important to reading :-)
ReplyDeleteI can identify with this. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I go through long periods of writers block. I try to write anyway hoping to oil the wheels of creativity. Other times, I just relax allowing time to unblock whatever is stuck. Glad you're over your blockage for now.
ReplyDeleteWriting has music in it...~ I'm glad you feel it :)xx
ReplyDeleteWriting is life and it keeps things alive and moving! Nice to see you back Panchali!

Nice to see you back, Panchali. I missed you. Your poem also is sweet and fresh.
ReplyDeleteIf the writer's block culminates into such lofty lines who would not like to experience it? :) Welcome back Panchali:) Great introspective poem!
