Silenced

my muse falls silent in darkness hushed thoughts flicker dim like stars beneath clouds i am lost somewhere in the blankness of mind

No dear Lady this proves your muse has not fallen silent, but is merely whispering into the darkness so only you may hear and understand, and enlighten the stars with your wisdom...

This is the saddest one I have read from you in a while...sad for me and all of your readers on PS. Still, even when you feel your muse has gone silent, something beautiful flows from your pen. (See above) Keep writing my friend and we will all keep reading.
