PAUSE

 Is my muse dead?
... or perhaps
just tired,
diverted,
rather than stimulated
by the happenings of life?

Once
poetry seemed to be
everywhere
but now ...
What has changed?

Nothing really my friend.
Nothing that you
can’t overcome
if you truly want to.

Stop.
Calm yourself.
Reflect.
Look.
Listen.
Feel.
It is still there.
You will hear it speak again.
If you truly want to.

Written in some frustration from my own lack of focus and output.
