Where Went the Words?

| 1 Comment

Tonight I cannot think of words to say.
They waved goodbye and wandered out my door.
I’m stuck in silence, and have feet of clay.
Why deal with less when what I want is more?
Perhaps tomorrow when the sun comes up
I’ll find the nutrients on which to sup.
Perhaps my muse will tap me on the head
and say, I brought the sun. Get out of bed.

  1. Beautiful and hopeful poem ! It talks to me a lot as I lay in my hospital bed. In hope for better days, thinking of you all. Hope I will write soon. Love,
