A Writer Writes

poem by: Ellen Early
Written on Nov 15, 2018 

For a long time
I could not think
My thoughts were dry
Not my ink

The hurt that aches
Inside my bones
Will not surface
For me to disown

So much I don't
understand 
Uncertainty has grabbed 
My hand

Kind words appease
From those outside
They see the pain
I cannot hide

The cuts I bear
Please don't stare
You have them too
Want to share?

I grieve the loss 
Of many things
But embrace the promise 
That tomorrow brings 

A writer writes
Young kids fly kytes
A dream can soar
When the heart ignites
