Going by
The missing takes hold gripping like a noose
The words choked out of existence
A blink of thought
Like trying to catch words of thunder flashing through rolling clouds
Waiting for the deluge of word soaked verse only to watch it. Roll by overhead without a drop nourishing some other poets pen.
Life churns the seas of revelations but the waves won't let me catch a breath for a beat.
Dry pen, parched paper and a world to soak in
inches from the shore
A shipwreck smothered by the sand
I count the stars instead
An estimate in a glance
As I Think of the endless possibilities
And how insignificant I am
That the words that i have captured
Remain the legacy of what there is
When of words there is nothing to gain
But the release of joy and pain
Into the universe
and if not written will not remain.
Then I am but a blink of ink that mearly left a smudge
Barely enough to stain.
A blink of ink
Is more than a stain
More than barely
Ink always remains
Like handprints on the window
Or heart strings left to fray
A memory
Indelibly
Inked on every page
A melody
Incredibly
Etched in every phrase
But no, my dear
You need not fear
That blink of ink
You seem to think
Is barely just a stain
It's every hope
And every dream
From far below
To endless seas
In shadow
And in between
That ink you blink
From words down deep
Sent out into the fray
You have to know
Down in your soul
You've set in stone
A piece of you that will always remain
