Sleep Laden Lashes


full stops litter a wordless sky
as white flakes fall like stardust
shaken from sleep laden lashes
with darkness closing
in peaceful solitude


The past several weeks have been spent staring at a blank screen.  I'm hoping it's just a passing phase and that the writing will flow again.

  3. Love this image and especially love that first line. Sometimes the words are just taking a break, listening, waiting. They will flow again, the ice will melt. Xoxo

  5. In just a few words you've created so much imagery of the snow falling down. I also thought of ash falling from the sky due to a volcano eruption. Probably had something to do with your word choice. Beautiful!
