Peace Creates Poetry

I didn't realize it could even happen
That my grief could reach the depth
That couldn't be solaced by paper and pen
Words can't dry the tears I've wept

I underestimated the strength of sorrow
When it completely comes to power
I put off life, until tomorrow 
Nestled under a deep, dark tower

It has been brought to my attention
That I write in moments of peace
A jarring truth, worth my mention
Depression dries my elbow grease
