Idling
Some days like today
I am in a creative drought
No word trickles out
From my fount of inspiration
Knowing this will not last long
I deal with it gently
Sitting in front of the window
Staring unfocused
Idling without thoughts
I give my muse a break
Evade emotional ripples
Distance myself from the past
Think nothing of the future
Shy away from happiness
Keep sadness at bay
I let my mind become wooden
My heart numb
Myself temporarily disengaged
From reality
