Where Did The Words Go?

Where did the words go?
They trickle now
Where they used to flow
Where did the words go?

Damn the dam
That side door slam
That took my words away

The divining rod
Of the fresh and young
That showed me where
the spring had sprung

From dowsed to doused
Verbose to close
The Cat had got my tongue

It's not that I have nothing to say
Or that my passion has gone away
Mundane things get in the way
The trivia of day to day

A turn of phrase that caught my ear
Why did the words just disappear?
But look, the words are flowing here
The cool blue stream is deep and clear
Magically they just re-appear 
So I dip my cup and drink
All is well
