All Said

Rate: 3 Flag

What after all
do I have to say today
now that it's all been said?

Yet, there's always a new
combination.
Some surprise coming over
the edge of the horizon.

Put the pen down on the
paper.  Wait.  Something comes.
It's just like speaking.
Stand in front of the
audience.  Wait.   Words will
come come; and, if no words
but only silence -- then
you've arrived at
the real point.  All has
been said.  Praise the silence.

Thank you for your kind comments. For me, writing is a humble practice - I have so much to learn. Often just look at the page and wait and wait.

I touch your cheek,
lips silent,
eyes smiling.
