MENTAL MAGIC
Liquid thoughts often laying in wait like a lion,wanting to spring forward at a moments notice
Some may say it is a block, constantly shifting sands can move a rock
Emotion holds keys to many doors ,feelings hidden like notes in scores to often causing us to refocus
Segmented and simplified single issues save time,many memories merely hidden by a fog
Bringing up mental mementos may also begin with pain ,finding new light can be precocious
Staying in neutral also results in a mind reversal,past passions played out begins new dialogue
Reading chapters of an unknown novel in reverse leaves much open so any new thoughts are a bonus
Catching cliches blandly blended together,trite truisms float freely true meanings await to embark
Synonyms as symbols now identified for my mind's eye,discoveries merge while scattered meanings take on a oneness
Poetic justice prevails ,sweet emotions unveiled ,winning my word game now leaves me as me as my mental patriarch. R.C.

Paying on what is known as "writers block"
But is a little harder or confusing for me because my start to writing prose,poetry was to save feelings or emotions before I forgot them
Although I have evolved some and used other topics those emotions are still the base for much of it,so to tell myself I HAVE TO write something is almost like cheating or not honest. I appreciate your reading your thoughts are helpful. PEACE. Rick
