Today a message came to me
From one who reads my poetry
The sender asked just how I write
And how my ideas come to light
He wanted help for what Block had caused
Asked “How come your content’s never paused?”
Tonight, my friend, I’ll heed your call
And tell you how I break that wall
But know we’re all unique, its true
What works for me may not for you
So if for topics, I feel strife
My first step is to think of life
I ask myself for what I care
What fills my mind when no one’s there?
And almost always, this one step
It works without more need for prep
But for the times when more, I need
I’ll read what past things I have keyed
Sometimes I’ll use them as a base
Elaborate, a past embrace
The most important thing, to me
Is just to let your mind go free
Take all the things we’re taught to think
Forget them all, your mind unlink
Then rip the ceiling from your thought box
Let them escape, take outside walks
When your thoughts, you liberate
The block becomes an open gate
And so, to all who struggle, too
The simplest answer I have for you
Is during times your brain has slept
Pick just one word: that’s your concept
So often, friends, we complicate
When simple’s the approach to take
Working this way helps, I know
Just pick one thought, and make it grow
And as I look back at my own
Some things I’ll share, examples shown
Purpose, Fear, my Mother, Blurred
My concepts start with just one word
And when you start to write this way
The Block, it seems to fade away
The ideas flow, the concepts rife
So take these words, and change a life
How the World Should Work
