Solicitude

The answers I could not find

Not even in the wind that passes by

And the stream remains silent

I still have to wait and try

As my eyes scan the sky

Hoping to see a spot or two

To my dismay, it's nothing but the blue 

My heart suddenly goes dry

The answers I could not find

Not even in the wind that passes by

or have you gone with it or are you near-by?

Even like a speck of dust 

in the vastness of uncertainty

The answers I have yet to find

A Flash Of Winter

This isn't my own experience but my sister’s who lives in Manchester, England. Once, she flew back during winter. Stepping out of the plane her teeth clattered and worse, later her nose bled. Been in a tropical country, it was like stepping out of the oven right into the fridge!

After a Hiatus

And here I'm alone

between these four walls

recollecting lost ideas

sorting out jumbled words

for I have lost my composure

and my grasp on what letters could do

many times I feel

passion dwells in my heart

creativity lies in my mind

writing is in my dream

yet, when the dry wind blows

all gone, even the tiniest of ideas

leaving a dream remains a dream

And today, still feeling the emptiness

but trying to throw pebbles of thoughts

into the pond of creativity

no ripples.....

stagnant in the shallowness of ideas
