there is understanding right now
of all the things my soul has undertaken.
Although the faces I have known
warp themselves in my dreams
I can still understand the messages
in their thoughts
that move
beyond their tongues and lips.
Occasionally
a haze overtakes part of my joy.
It sets up residence indefinetely
an unwelcome blanket
that smothers me.
These days
my flow is forced.
I am standing behind a river of words
looking ahead at an impossible damn
but still shoving
hoping that my pen is bigger
and stronger
than this lethargy and dispair.

OMG, Jenn, but I hope that you are OK? I didn't realize until now where you lived. The horror of these past few days...
Glad to see this post, knowing that means...you are a Katrina survivor.

As are you.

Oh, but it most certainly is...your expression of the flow of words, the lethargy...

I relate well to these.

Thanks so much for your time with this poem, everyone. I haven't written much in the past few years, and sometimes it seems hopeless.

Love you all
Its so good to be back for a while
