Empty Sky

Neville

Empty Sky

 

Not deep enough to drown in

Dont you kid yourself he said

 

More shallow

Than a shallow grave maybe

 

But somewhere

I might rest this weary head

 

Here lies a poet tired

A poet drained and dry

 

Not wide enough to fly in maybe

But above him empty sky

  • Fay Slimm.

    A languid lament that follows from time to time productive writers but described here in such admirable imagery that you are far from drained and dry my friend....Muse strikes when least expected they say Nev. and waits while we rest..... a very relatable read.

              • dusk arising

                Empty skies,
                forever blue
                deserve filling
                from a poet
                as today
                so well

                  you are far too generous and kind for words, and so I will just say thank you... N

                • MendedFences27

                  Sometimes putting words to paper is a lot like chopping wood, much more difficult to do if you fear the axe. They are only words, they will not take an arm or leg. Sometimes, however, we cannot remember where we left the axe .
                  With a sky to choose from,, surely the words will rain down. - Phil A.

                  • Neville

                    what an interesting perspective sir... thank you for stopping to consider my words... Neville

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Just look into that empty sky and a light will be seen, that light will be the first word of many to rain down into your heart.

                    • Neville

                      your comment is an encouraging poem in its own write GF60.. thank you kindly... N
