~Empty Page~

a thousand thoughts
Originally uploaded by ruudpakua

I know I have thousands
Words
Yet as I stand
On an empty page
I run out of words
On contemplation inside
To snatch words out of my being
So I can fill the page
Other than emptiness
In hope when one word begins
It will chain thousands words
A page is never meant to be empty
It yearns even for scribbles
