well of thoughts
begins to dry up,
heat of frustration
overwhelms me;
I begin to succumb,
soon exhausted,
strain of failures
showing clear.
in light of darkness,
in light of darkness,
I forget to notice,
the outlet I have
for this gloom.
I look not for language,
fancy words et al,
just a rain of words
to quench arid thirst
for realization.
like a bud takes form,
a rose is born;
from its petals
smile thoughts.
watered with inspiration,
it can survive;
bright in joyous sunlight,
it’ll never wilt.
poetry is the garden,
I always nourish,
with my dream.
