Poet in me slept
Escaping circumstances
Of a world gone mad
High time to awake
Stir my juices, let words flow
With my mighty pen

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

❤ Thanks, Lynn.
It’s not surprising we feel the need to withdraw sometimes and not want to face the world, but writing is our comfort 🙂
Yes. Our comfort and our purpose, too. I feel in balance when I get back to writing.
Love the confidence in this one. I am happy to see you thriving here.
Thank you for affirming me. I do feel a new confidence. ❤
I like the ostrich symbolism 🙂 , I can relate to this piece. It’s good to step away from it and return with a fresh perspective although I don’t find it easy. In fact some may think I take it to the extremes when I say that sometimes I do feel as if letting the poet sleep is the same as seizing to exist. Stepping away from the art causes a slight anxiety and I can’t help but sometimes wish I was not such an addict.
I understand your anxiety. I have had a lot going on lately and the poet in me wasn’t accessible. I got stuff behind me and woke up yesterday wanting my poet to return. She did! And I wrote a simple Haiku that put purpose back in my life. Maybe your true self as a writer is a calling, not an addiction. ❤
Thanks, it’s nice that you put it that way. “Calling” certainly sounds better than addiction 🙂 and it’s true when the poet awakens, it sure feels like finding purpose
I know lots of people who have been left speechless by recent events. Thankfully, you have found your voice once more! For this I am grateful as I enjoy your poetry so very much. 🌍
Thanks. I’m happy you like my poetry. I’m still not writing in my old vein, but maybe that is not a bad thing.
