Inspiration still burns somewhere in my mind
It would be helpful if I could find it
But it is so dark that I can't even begin to imagine where it is
I can hear its faint flicker
Faint as a pen running out of precious ink
But it remains hidden
It eludes me hiding in its dark lair
My mind grows weary as a pursued gazelle
My creativity all dammed up like the waters of the Netherlands's countryside
