Without Words


as so often I am
my hands scritching at the pen
my lips twitching at the mouth

but words are scarce 
and meaning more so
in the face of so much

      Inspired by a bloggers photo. Sometimes the comments are the best part...left, and received :) Plus, conservation is PC these days!

    Those last three lines are gold.

    I know 'in the face of so much' too, Annie.what a great turn of phrase to describe a time.

    It is nice to stop by, ms ww

    Love, love

    Lately I feel like a blank page. I want to say something but nothing seems to be my choice these past few weeks. Empty my thoughts are or just the opposite. To much of my thoughts but that's all they are.... my thoughts.

    I've missed your words, meaning much with few. A powerful punch.

    This is utterly wonderful, Wine & Words! Ha - the muse deserted me it seems but maybe you've just shown me why *sigh ....

    Lovely to read you again!
