In the silence of a long break,
My words, absent companions, linger,
Reality chokes my voice,
Leaving only a breath to mark my existence.
It's seems I have lost it's beauty,
And could only stare at a blank slate,
Where imagination becomes a makeshift reality,
I struggle to meld the two,
But find nothing to organize.
Life strides ahead, leaving me behind,
My imagination soaring while my bones merely survive.
They say hard work pays,
But for how long?
Patiently, I listen to the whispers of the spirit,
Hoping one day,
My words will find their meaning.
