Tepid Spirit

by Michael

Tepid in spirit,
fragile
in weary form,
I sit.

This morning woke
without a sun.

Just
sighing heavens
releashing moisture to the earth.

I close the blinds
against
these leaden skies.

With pen and page
I scrawl
these mournful words.

As I write,
salty droplets fall
on backs of hands,
then spill
to mix with ink.

I weep.

Proust-
"Love is space and time measured by the heart"

How sad these words are. They harbor much within. Nice write.

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Michael--So stark and real the way your words pen how you feel...like the leaden sky.
