The well runs dry and, parched with fear,
I agonize that I, myself, may shrivel up,
run dry of heart-felt words, that in the end,
the new will once again be old, dwindling
on the page where the worn out and overused
go to seek their final solace, exhausted
from their time of service to the higher cause
of originating expressions of light,
inspiration, and heart-pouring sentiment,
the depth of inner being
spilled forth on public pages
I write my words for you,
my life laid platter-bare,
but what if, after all the words dry up,
there’s nothing there? What if
I really was invisible?

Beautiful
i love this because i often feel each poem i write may be my last!
I know, right? I get this great sense if dread sometimes that I might write until there are no more words, nothing left to say or heal, nothing more to share. And that is the greatest sadness!
