I know, I wanna write,
But not what it could be about;
Now, that I’ve started thinking,
Why not ink it out?

The words rush in like the overflowing cataract
And roar out nothing, but silent syllables!
When I try to make little sense,
It’s just like a flood in the sandy wilderness.

I’m trying to get the words together and bind,
But they fly up, up in the sky
along with the clouds,
And say, “Never mind”!

Oh, my Lingo!
Is this a trap you’re trying to hold me in?
While you are still thinking
That you’re playing ‘Hide-and-Seek’ with me,
I’ve already caught you on my page;
Why don’t you come and see?!

I sat on my writing desk and was sure to write something. But, "What-to-write?" was a question that kept my mind busy. I didn't notice my hands filling my page, while I was still thinking! And this is what I came up with! :)

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
