Blocked Un-blocked

Emptiness is filled with coffee

mind no longer frozen.

Creative thought now may be unblocked.

To think is to be human,

to see as a writer does one must think.

lodged in the fold of your mind are thoughts

long forgetten.

These are the thoughts writer bring forth.

Motionless does the world stand until the lead is gone.

[The They]

This poem is fantastic. I love how you connect writing with being human and ultimately, being human with reflection. At the same time, the last line seems to depart slightly from this. It presents the act of writing as an intimate connection with the moment that makes the world "stand still". There's something spiritual there that you point out about the act of writing -as if bring the past to the present is some sort of ritual that lasts until the lead runs out; a ritual that totally absorbs the consciousness of the writer and brings them to the present that the past (through their thought) finally touches. Good job!
