The Words Strewn
The sky was once stained
with vibrant colors, a light
pierced through the surface
illumining the words inside.
Even with closed eyes, I
would discover them as
they fluttered around me
matching the rhythm
of your voice, ending
in a glowing embrace.
But the voice has gone silent,
as each hour dissolves
from present to past.
A crack, that started small,
has grown, tearing me apart.
The sky is now choked off
by rotting clouds.
The colors muted,
the words strewn,
ripped away by a tempest
and with it my muse.
Without words, I shall wither.

Those words express the pain we have gone through then and there...

Relatable spill --
and I've experienced this more times than I would have liked.

The loss of a muse is always felt, for any circumstance.
You have expressed it will in this write.

I hear you Charlotte. Over the slow progression of seconds which seem to slip by with curious speed, as we lose our focus on the passage of time, I have learned to grow comfortable with the long silences between my writes. We are in a continual state of transformation. Within a tree, there are rings within rings of growth. Look upon each of these as a cocoon that once held a slumbering form, dreaming of the form to be. We are born with innocence and peace. As we collide with the world, losing both, we eventually develop patience and wisdom, and if we so choose, rediscover peace. Namaste.
