Please Let Me Be In The Zone

“Unleash your creative energy and let it flow. Relish the possibilities.” — Nita Leland

Here I am again, at a loss for words, I can’t explain; fumbling, and complaining, Like a bat under my hat let me see not, with my mere set of eyes.

Let me cross the threshold of this elusive crossroad, whom athletes call “being in the zone” y’all.

Whom others point to as, “a heightened state of consciousness” as what his prominence, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi tells me, But oh, who is he, propel me Mr. Flow State, you see.

Oh, powerful gods of penning, send me into a state of tending; Let me feel the pleasure of this ultimate treasure.

Harness me with wings and let me rose into nothingness, Gift me a tail and gills; Let me swim into the depths of the ocean of musings, where calmness is harnessed; transcendency resides.

Let me not be distracted by thee surrounded; even so with my inner critic, Let me not mind the buzzing world behind.

It's just me and my pen, my immature notions and my phenomenal muse; Nothing, no one will hinder me, in this state of uncontrollable heights, happiness, and productivity.

Never will I be settled by anything, nor anyone; not even you my loyal one.

This is just me unrivaled with my soul and my composing; intense, full of emotions, like a lover to his beloved ane.

I will be for you and you for me alone, together we will be, now and evermore.

I don’t care how or what will soon be, as long as I pick up how to cheer me up; “Never be afraid to fail, even as stale as a snail you can try now and later as well.”

Thus, soon I will be in the zone leave not a stone unturned; Barely through this way, I’ll make this world merry, simply by just writing my story.

Hop-skip my dearest one. Let us learn how to appreciate our learning process to achieve the pleasure of writing — slip up, tumble, and stand up again. Before long you will be in the zone.

Stay well and thanks so much for dropping by!
