Beauty Remains

Posted on November 7, 2016 | 36 Comments

 

I miss the days when words flowed free

from mind to pen

They seem stuck now

clogged

and littered with negativity

Inspiration, creativity, and light

dimmed

I have nothing to offer

only thoughts induced through pain

And those I will not share because they benefit no one

including myself

But beauty still remains

all around me

even in the midst of suffering

though I may not be fully capable of enjoying its splendor in the way I “normally” would

 

And I will grab hold of it…

      Thanks Dorinda ❤
      Oh gosh now I have that Beach Boys song in my head, that’s sure to follow me throughout the day. Too bad I don’t like the Beach Boys haha! But I do like you (and miss you too) and I’ll think about you sending those good vibrations every time it plays in my head today! 😉
