Be Glad When Love

Be glad when love

knocks on your door

and all you have to do

is say "Yes" and let it flow

This tiny blank verse fell out of my brain and went "splat" onto my laptop's screen early this morning in a remote conversation with someone for whom I did a favor. She was trying to thank me for a strategic favor and I was trying to respond with something more meaningful than "You're welcome." 

This is the opposite of writer's block. Don't you get excited when this happens? I do.

Be glad when your muse

knocks on your brain 

and all you have to do

is say yes, start typing

trust it and let it flow

The photo collage was the favor.
