Writer's Block

Wondering if inspiration will ever emerge,
Roaring up the steep mountain,
Investigating how to create a surge,
Trusting that your ideas will reap,
Exercising the elusive muse,
Rounding up words, like herding sheep,
Seasoning the world with nothing to lose.

Blocked on all sides,
Longing to create,
Ogling the white page,
Clinging to a single word,
Keeping up the search, to create a gem.
