I sit and stare at the screen, waiting for the words to come…

Some sort of epiphany perhaps?
A way to recover my hopes and dreams…

They seem so far away.
Lost, like a nameless star
amongst the millions.

Each time I reach
it skitters farther and farther.
I can feel them there
just outside my grasp.

So I sit and stare at the blank screen
waiting for my revelation.
Hoping that my dreams
aren’t lost amongst the stars forever.

    Christina…wowzers, how true. I don’t know how many times I’ve started at the blank screen (and in my earlier daze, blank pieces of solid white paper dangling out of the manual Underwood typewriter). Ah, but such is z life of a writer. From such endeavours come great literary works, like yours! Nice job!

    This is so beautiful. And if this is biographical – your dreams are alive – your dreams are coming true everyday, just keep believing and persevering.

    Best wishes.
