A Voice in the Dark
I know I haven't been here much
Rather not at all of late
The words scrambled and ran
And I couldn't find a reason
To chase them
I just let them go on their merry way
While I remained
Somewhat stationary
While the world moved on around me
And it's not that I sat in darkness
But rather that I held it inside
A sort of security blanket
Soft and quiet
That I could hold on to tight
Because things kept changing
In a way I couldn't control
And rather than try keep pace
I decided to stand still
And wait
I needed time to think
So the words left me
In favour of silence
Until I could hear
My own voice
In the dark
That is the best of reasons for absence and time in the dark. Sometimes the only way to get back to ourselves is to get completely lost (for a while). It is so good to read you back.
ReplyDeleteEven when I'm silent I'm still reading you. :) Your voice is one I love to hear.
DeleteRight back at you! 💞
DeleteYou "popped" into my mind this morning! Wondering how life has been treating you. And for the life of me I could not remember the name/s of your blogs. My detective skills kicked in and here I am. Wanting to read more of your amazing posts. All is fine in Bend Oregon, though I have lost two of the dearest men I've ever known in the past six months. Trying to heal.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss my friend. And I'm very touched that you were thinking of me. Life has been good. I started a new job which has taken up so much of my time and energy. I'm still writing but I feel like I've lost a bit of my spark. I am wishing you healing and I really do adore you and your words and I thank you so much for reaching out. 💗
