Caged Thoughts

A blurry page, an empty glass…
The ink has dried and time shall pass…
Seeing the bottom without a drop…
The pen is worn but the mind won’t stop…
The voices crowd these secluded halls…
Left to scribble on a paper wall…
What you see is not what’s shown…
A complex thought in a simple tone…

Another good one, Michael....Sometimes our muse plays hide and seek, but....we long for self expression. I have been going through my older writes and have found several posts for you. I wonder if I ever reciprocated those visits in the early days. I'm here to make amends and I like what I read. :)
