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

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.

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.
