The Silent Debate Goes On

Over the past few days
I have searched everywhere
It appears my muse has left
Seems its no longer there

How can I begin to write
Feels like the loss of a friend
As my muse remained silent
Nothing had been penned

As I burn the midnight oil
Sat here with my pen in hand
Many nights have been spent
Far away from dreamland

The silent debate goes on
Here between heart and mind
Perhaps this will explain why
The words are hard to find

Too wide awake to sleep
As I ponder through the night
Still there was the part of me
Who was longing to write

Dear Hope, sometimes the most beautiful thoughts are the one's never heard.

How nice that even in your silence
comes gold.

(whisper) Pssst my dear, this was wonderful (whisper)

I can really relate to this, Hope. Eventually, the words do come forth if they are meant to be shared.

This is written for my moments... I love your poetry.

you have a wonderful style with words and your muse is never far from you, just resting at times

Hang in there Hope, we all have times when the words won't come, but I'm sure that a

poet of your expertise will soon be back with plenty of more wonderful poems. Love
