Writer's Block

Losing the idea in the process of writing it down.

Writer's Block
Thoughts tumble through my mind
an avalanche of indiscernible possibilities
passing through my awareness
entangled one to another
I catch a glimpse of beauty
Scrambling, I struggle to comprehend
My pen tries hard to keep pace,
using too many words to define the feeling
Then it's gone
I reach fruitlessly for an image I vaguely recall
but it's slipped back into my sub consciousness
I look to my writing,
hoping to find it
but no beauty lies in the meaning of my words
I see no wonderful masterpiece
I see no inspired passion
Only my broken thoughts
Spilled across the page
