"The Lord God has given Me the tongue of disciples,
That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word."

~Writers on the Storm~

by Duncan Cary Palmer

The Well...
So very dry.
Sadly awry.
What to try?

Weary, worried, wondering, Why?
Where shall I fly to be renewed?

Long time, no words.
Energy depleted.
Spark gap defeated.
Frustration repeated.

No breath, blind,
Dispirited.
Perish the thought
That thought perish...

Jump start me!
Make me crackle,
Bring me to life.

As I grumble,
Thunder rumbles.
Fresh, moist breeze,
Sweet friend breathes life,
Rousing verbal stormwind.

Lightning!
The torrent breaks,
Overtakes, motivates,
Quickening, vivifying!

Anticipate.
Activate.
Generate.
For readers unborn,
Create.

Twenty three syllables inspire,
Kick-start my brain,
My fingers, animate.

Keys rebound.
Words appear.
I appreciate.

Gratitude.
