Looking for an idea

I daydream for hours, in the futile hope that I would find

An idea that would in a Eureka moment come to my mind

An idea so compelling that it would motivate me to write

An entire manuscript without having to fight

The writer’s block which has thwarted my progress in the past

In its absence my motivation to complete my work would last

*

Ideas float through my mind but do not take hold

In my imagination, they are not substantial enough to unfold

Into stories that I would be able to tell

I need an idea that casts on me a spell

So profound that under its influence I have no choice

But to write, to give the idea my own voice

*

This is how my daydreams culminate

Not in a story but in a verse where I let my yearning dissipate..
