Don't doubt - do
Hanging around,
just hanging around,
banging the drum.
Convincing myself
that it is time well spent,
that it is okay
to do nothing.
Why do I do so much nothing?
Could I do something all the time?
Probably not.
These are the dwelling times,
these are the proving times
perhaps,
the ferment,
the mash.
After this comes the paint
or the pen.
This is starving the lion,
this is waiting time,
waiting for the shame
to overcome the fear.
Waiting for the time
to be right
to be spontaneous.
