Sabbatical's Conclusion

Heather has a Bachelor's Degree in English from Moravian College and has been freelance writing for more than 14 years.

End of a long walk to nowhere

In the Iowa cornfields of "Field of Dreams"

A dry spell since evaporated after a year's absence

Idea seeds finally taken root in the backyard soil

Trying not to cling to a Costco surplus of clichés

Working on shaking off the creative rust

Developing a successive nylon string of rational thoughts

That don't fall into the abyss of monotony and malaise

Looking towards a new purpose beyond the 40 hour week

Or an alternative route that will lead to a killer new detour

A fork in a dirt road that could go somewhere better

Maybe, just a temporary distraction from life's regular heatwave

Stay tuned for the results in the live season finale of this program.
