Just a bit weary.

Quiet and softly,

Gathering words.

Recalling connections,

Pulsing to rhythms,

So few truly heard.


Scanning scripted emotions,

Strung from tormented ages,

No more in existence.

Tearing away from the spine,

Page after page of faded lamentations.


Creations chronicle of an ineffable recital,

Experiences forge for perception.

Vestiges of a journeys inspiration.


Just a bit weary.

Quiet and smoothly,

Casting away words.

Recollections and connections,

Which long ago pulsed to rhythms,

Only I truly heard.





A poem inspired by my old poetry..the old feelings gone all but for a few words scribbled down on notebook paper.

It does have a certain cover of sadness..

"Just a bit weary.

Quiet and smoothly,

Casting away words."

Beautiful.

This is beautiful, my friend, and takes on a real special significance as I read. Recently I found old writings of my own, and realized that the passion is still inside, only stronger with age...so thank you for this lovely work...

This is the way it really is sometimes, isn't it?
