Absorbing the Cost…
when the choice is required
and compromise is not an option
do you choose to soothe your own pain?
or that of others? -

“takes more ink…
than currently in possession”
I have been feeling this a lot lately.

I think it goes back to the weight of the world these days. It takes so much energy to just survive…not a lot pouring into our cups. Thank you, Fia 😊

Feels like poetic intermission… a mist of words floating about
I like the mood this invokes-

Life is…a lot…these days. Intermission would be great, but who’s got the time? Thank you, Naaj 😊

Powerfully penned, Willow. Excellent write that I can definitely relate to my friend. Inspiration is sometimes a bit of a process indeed. Chasing thoughts and having them slip away can be so frustrating. The life of a writer is kinda quirky when you think about it. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you.

The more we have on our the mind, the more jumbled it is up there. So polluted the words can’t find the exit. So they float around like wraiths on a stormy night. I’ll get my rhythm again. Just need a breather. Thank you, my friend 😊

Quite often even the dark and distasteful thoughts must be laid bear. Maybe we’re under the impression no one cares, but people do relate. This is dark and disturbing. But life is too sometimes.
