Poetry

Nothing is

Happening around me tonight.

As the silence settles around me like a blanket wrapped around me on a cold night, I feel no words flowing through me as if they have all been put to rest.

The feeling of not having them around feels like such a significant loss.

The words and emotions I crave to express aren’t around as life blends into a dull gray.

Life is moving, and things are happening, but my creative spark seems to be taking a break from it all.

Maybe this isn’t her season, and I must respect that as I find other things to say and do.
