Am I Not Worthy

by ·

4/17/2023
the words aren't coming today
the way they once flowed
from pen to page
thoughts blocked by judgement
indecision, distraction
letters don't spill and pool to create words
instead they scatter and float like a bowl of cereal
creating utter nonsense
no cohesion to find
no line, no rhythm, no meter
just chaos, senseless chaos, meaningless chaos...
how can I find meaning without flow?
there must be something hidden
behind the scribbles on this page
but it remains elusive
so I search in the space between letters
for a message to be revealed
but your lips are sealed
you'll take it to the grave
before sharing, won't you?
am I not worthy enough to hear your song
taste your fruit?
maybe the time isn't right
and until my time comes
I'll continue searching
ready and waiting to accept
what you have to give
but please don't keep me waiting long
