a blank page
is God's way
of telling us
how hard
it is to be God
blank page
staring at my face
asking me
is writing really that hard
blank page
my white canvas of hope
beneath your skin
are hidden infinite poems
every poet's holy grail
blank page
though besides the brook
amidst willows and poplars
why is that nothing inspires me
blank page
now that spring has set in
piercing the darkness of winters
why is there a winter so savage
still within my bones
blank page
staring at my face
while still trying to write
a magpie flying above
shits on my head :(
You have scratched the skin Rigzin and what I see is great. God knows what treats lie beneath when you dig further. Can't wait to find out. As for me I have been running away from blank pages for a very long time now. Thanks for sharing this with me.
ReplyDeleteYou've penned down a miracle injected with the last line..keep sharing the good reads....
DeleteBeautiful Rigzin. You always had an amazing way with words. Blank page and yet so poignant. I'm all blank page these days. Keep it up

ReplyDeleteKeep trying to ink those blank page with your beautiful thoughts. And let that magpie settles in the head..:)
ReplyDeleteAwaiting for more thoughts to get inked in ""blank page".
You have captured a writer's dilemma effectively. One can sense the disconnection between the writer and his need to tap into his creative energy, building a wall between the writer and his creativity. Interesting poem.
ReplyDeleteA black page is alive and dwells in eternal silence... And yes there are infinite poems hidden beneath its skin! :)
ReplyDeleteI can completely relate myself to this. A blank page is so much inviting that it confuses what thought should I write first.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written! :)
