Silenced

my muse
falls silent
in darkness

hushed
thoughts
flicker dim
like stars
beneath clouds

i am lost
somewhere
in the blankness
of mind

This poem is evidence your muse is not silent, rather powerful, so well done!

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.
