It's Still Life

Waiting for the Words to Come

It will come, what I want to say.
Paper. Pen. Held a certain way.
Inspired by that full moon
Whose light fills an empty room.
Those amber and scarlet leaves.
Creek. River. Or ocean breeze.
It will come, what I want to say.
Paper. Pen. Held a certain way.
