Seedling

There was a germ in my head,

As I drifted to sleep, snuggled in my bed,

A seed of an idea!

Just a morsel, a thought, a nibble to inspire,

Rhymes of times gone past

A masterpiece that would last,

In the minds of some,

Something remembered for years to come,

Contented sleep replaced my aspirations,

A worm had infested and zapped my imagination,

The seed consumed, macerated, banished

Ideas empty, mental thoughts lacking, vanished !

The paper stays dead !

All thoughts locked somewhere in my head,

Deep, Deep down that seed is somewhere,

It's survived !

Till then I stare at this blank space until I can rediscover it,

Bring this blank dead paper some substance

Bring it alive !
