&ldquo;You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.&rdquo; -Mae West<br /> &quot;It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.&quot; - Leonardo Da Vinci

At last, time to spare,

staring at the computer screen

hands hovering above keyboard

and mind going blank,

questions taking over.

What now?

What do I write?

How can she do this?

How will he respond?

All the while pondering the dilemma,

when hours of staring does nothing to help,

and suddenly that spark dies down,

and the story's dead.

 

A call from the door,

came warm compassion and chamomile tea,

a sip refreshes, conversation bringing back life.

It's to the computer again,

and this time prepared.
