Restless Souls
A Poem about Restless Souls

Writer’s Block
Poem Writer’s Block
I have a thought…
But I’m unable to write it out
Expressing it’s so difficult…
And words are so scarce right now
I’m thinking about something…
I know that it’s worth sharing
Writer’s block must be my condition…
I feel so helpless… and lost
I’m surrounded by motivation…
I feel the energy of excitement
But the words I seek are holding me hostage
I’m restless…
I should forget my agony for now
And focus on a meaningful task in the interim
Take a walk perhaps…
Or simply a short drive
Disregard the ink and paper for a while…
And remember life as it’s before me
Temporary conditions are facts of existence…
A dead-end in writing’s no exception
Be prepared for when the fountain flows again…
And record those thoughts in words preponderant

The Winds of Change
Poem: The Winds of Change
The winds of change are eternal
Sustaining life internal
As the sun burns brisk in the sky
The winds of eternity comes alive
With the fresh wind comes new life
And the old and faded, are relieved accordingly

Whispers transformed
Poem: Whispers transformed
Whispers resonate in the night...
Homage paid to the old trite
Giggles occasionally, and stamping feet
Exaggeration in full competition...
Acting out the notorious repetition
Chatter and gossip- the night stood still...
Not even a break for a unified thrill
Blab, whine and scandal...
No end in sight, except daybreak perhaps...
Yeah, oh yes...
Wow, someone said- 'goodnight'!
An engine started, and suddenly there was one less
Then, the goodbyes became contagious
A deafening silence followed
The night was free!
The sounds and songs became alive...
The natural creatures subscribed
Whispers transformed...
The night's welcomely reformed

I Feel Like Writing a Poem
Poem: I feel like writing a poem
I feel like writing a poem...
Something about the way I feel
Something about the things I see...
Something about the thankfulness for good health...
And good feelings
I feel like writing a poem...
Because I am alive
A thought about love...
Happiness and more
I feel like writing a poem...
Everyone’s around enjoying the moments
Wonders of life...
Experiences to treasure
I feel like writing a poem...
Zephyr is so comforting
The breeze of heaven and the faithful sun...
The ocean's so enticing
Time's being transformed...
Into words of appreciation
The future... only a heart beat away
Every moment in time...
Is poetic and real
I feel like writing a poem...
About something to treasure...
The joy that brings humbleness and prayer
To a soul in need of sustenance

Why?
Poem Why?
The word of curiosity…
The symbol of insights
We want to know…
That’s why we ask
Full of knowledge…
The answers wait
Not always welcoming…
It’s the response still
Seeking the truth…
Being nosey
Inquisitive to a specific end…
In search to ease a vexing dilemma
Why?
The heart of the spirit
The soul’s working…
And compiling comprehension
The more we identify…
The further we don’t
We’re consumed…
By issues infinite
