I send my words into the sky
Watch them rhyme and then fly.
I close my eyes and feel the air
Forgotten words lost without care.
I take the letters in my hand
And put them on a poetic stand.
I scribe the words on a starlit scroll
Watch words take shape as night unfolds.
My dreams drift from a soul that bleeds
In the blue of ink, fractured lines freed.
I run my hands over my words
My fingers feel the emotions stirred.
With tender ease, the poetry glides
From my page to your eyes.

If you’ve been struggling to write I promise it doesn’t show. I’m finding creativity a hard thing at the moment as well. It’s a rotten feeling. The old man is back on WP etc. to stop himself thinking. Odd way to put it. Anyhow, have the best ever New Year ~ George

This is very very lovely… so many good lines. These parts I loved, particularly:
“I scribe the words on a starlit scroll
Watch words take shape as night unfolds.”
wow… and…
“I run my hands over my words
My fingers feel the emotions stirred.”
I love this image of a poet touching the letters of the starlit scroll with reverence… but the whole poem is truly magical, dear Yassy β¨βοΈ
