More than Writer’s Block

A poetic reflection on frozen words awaiting divine guidance.

When the Pen Stilled

Watch as it happens.
The hand glides over the paper
Pen in hand
Like a bird in effortless flight

Ink soaks deep into the page
transferring emotions with every stroke
And with every stroke,
The writer escapes–
away from the noise of the world
Into a truth of their own making

The page flips
The words continue to flow
Onto this sacred space

But suddenly–
The pen stops.

Not because there is nothing left to say,
But because the soul is listening–
Searching for where God wants to speak next.
