God Bless the writer who stays up at night forever hoping for that special spark. That special spark of inspiration that glows in the dark.

I dedicate this poem to all editors and writers who burn the midnight oil waiting for that spark of inspiration.

GOD BLESS The Late Night Writer


Staying up late once again.
Burning the midnight oil.
The writer stays up.
Waiting for inspiration,
but sometimes only gets more and more perspiration,
and sweat keeps falling from the writers’ brow.
Awaken writer, stay awake a little more now!

Getting writer cramps, feeling a little numb.
Perhaps tomorrow, the writer will find a way.
Perhaps then the writer will finish the manuscript.
Perhaps the editor or writer will continue and persevere.
and “Live-on” to write another line, another day.

God Bless the writer who stays up late hoping for that special spark.   

 That special spark of inspiration that glows some where in the dark.

Funny how the "muse" seems to be more pronounced in the middle of the night...perhaps all the stresses of the day just fade away in the late night dark...Ed

God bless you too! So many can relate to this I'm sure. My inspirations seem to come at really odd times and I can't always make a second to write my thoughts down. When I have a second I don't always have the words. Know what I mean?

I can really relate to this. Nice to know someone else knows "the feeling." Loved the poem.

Such a nice blessing, and yes! writing or doing research deep into the night, when the rest of the world is sleeping, is definitely part of the writer's life.

Thanks,
Gina

Hey there Domino,
Sorry it took me so long to say thank you for your reviews. I have been bad about getting on authorsden- but I AM BACK. It does my heart good to see that people enjoy my work.
As for your poem- GREAT JOB. I also like your bio line.
I don't seem to have any problem finding the words- it is putting them together in book form that makes me sweat. LOL.
It appears you do many good works besides writing. SMILE!
Take care.
Blessings,
Judith

John,
How often I've stayed awake sitting at the computer hoping for that little tug of inspiration to come. I know how you feel, my friend.

Many blessings,

Hi Domino:

I stayed up late because I'm having insomnia, so I guess you are the same as well.

Well, I'm glad you can think of something to write.
