go on

Post by snowman »

words clear as a bell
wade through the pea soup
of my mind forcing words to page
like making the horse drink
after leading it
clichés tattered and torn
from use and misuse
shredded like a leaf in high winds
emotionally barren
like fall in black and white
true love a mystery novel
unread and lonely
monsters lurk not only in fog
in plain view for us to ignore
like cancer or overpopulation
no control tsunami wrath
destroys all in its path
more questions than answers
and life goes on

This really hit home. I kept reading it over and over trying to find a line I could quote as the one I liked the best or the one that hit closest to the heart. I couldn't do it. The whole thing just spoke to my deepest inner being. Have you been snooping?
