O, insight you have deserted me.
I am struggling to find clarity.
Please, come back and comfort me.
I have to suffer, this I know,
No pain, no gain, they tell me, so
I must endure it if I am to grow.
It is deep into this darkest night,
No solution to my plight.
At this tunnel's end there is no light.
Calm now, hide away these fears
Think back to your halcyon years
Free from all the doubts and tears.
Just pick up the pen and write,
Do it blindfold with no light.
Look now, everything is right.
I found the key to unpick this lock.
I have overcome my poet's block.
Fortune smiled on me in the end,
Insight is back, welcome my friend.
