Momentarily — A Poem

~ humoringthegoddess

 

When the words won’t come
The dreams far away
And night never rests
A poem comes to mind

A brief version
Of the day’s confusion
The evening’s pain
Whispers from beyond

We can’t find the phrase
The tenor
The breath
For what hides inside

Even spirit has flown
Buried beneath the leaves
The dying snow
The bumbled rags

The heart is not broken
But merely flat
A marvel to behold
Even in deflation

Until spring returns
The letters will be dark
The sugar not so sweet
The story without words

Tomorrow the sun
Will be brighter
Smells will be sweeter
And words will flow again

I am a writer of fantasy fiction that often surrounds middle-aged women. I am a married mother of two and granny to three, a BoHo Chic kinda gal. I am recently retired and busier than when I worked 9-5. But writing and blogging is my main game.
