Words left Untold (Part I)

Another empty, blank page

Of untouched white paper

Stares back at me,

Why is it so hard some days, lately

To put events and feelings

Into words?

Why have my words

Failed and abandoned me,

Left me to stand alone

In this windy, cold storm?

The words that flow

From me my mind to the ink pen

Gave me the sense of direction

That I never had,

Things that were a blurry,

Confusing mess inside my heart

Were lifted of its confusing fog.

And I was able

To make a sense of

What hands were

Pushing my head under the water

As I tried to grasp them away

To get

A breath

Of air.
