Placid waters

No wind to carry, no wave to propell, alone and still.......

scrambled in thought

lost in shadows

 

where is the prose

where are the rhymes

where is the wit and wisdom to write

 

empty lines mock

the words hide their faces from me

 

in the deep I peer longingly

in the past I look with desire

still nothing

love has left

there are no more tears to weep

all that’s left is void

 

Muse has abandoned this vessel

in still waters I list

waiting for winds of inspiration to guide

I look over the edge seeing my reflection

no smile

no frown

not even a twinkle in the eye

 

will this be the last write

ironic I would have so much of nothing to say

it's not over til the fat lady sings. everything is just a hill to climb over, many hills behind you, many hill before you. we just do it

[Dave W.]

Amen my brother, freaking hills just make us stronger, hope all has been well and that you are finding peace

[Light and ashes]

This is so good..
You should be really proud!

I wrote something similar to this,
years ago.
It was much more straight forward and alot less abstract. It was more like a journal entry..
It wasn't as good as this!

[Dave W.]

Thankypu for the kind review, I hope your days go well

[Light and ashes]

I hope so, for you too.

[Dave W.]

Again thankyou so very much, I hope to be a good poet someday.

[Light and ashes]

I think you are well on your way :)

[Davidgeo]

Sometimes I feel like this. Adele makes good music for this feeling.

[Dave W.]

Yeah she does so does Muse

[K. Louis]

Lost for words, I know how that feels. Don't give up. -K.
