Daydreaming
Sitting
Pen in hand
Waiting for a thought
Searching for an idea
An idea that I've not
My mind is blank
I cannot think
My emotions are a mess
Hoping to force out
A writing that's of my very best
Distractions surround me
My attention does not last
It wanders all about me
I'd better finish fast
This page it fills
Senseless words
Scarcely joined together
I make no sense, have no focus
Cannot work this hocus pocus
To end this now I should say
Something with meaning
To end your day
Something of value
Something worth-while
Something to take you
That extra mile
This insight to life
A proverb so pure
To strengthen your heart
So you can endure
My message not simple
My message not clear
Keep what you love
And treasure it dear
