life can be hard it can slap a person down suck out all hope(yes I should say me) until I feel so small and insignificant my thinking con- fused and swirling I just want to escape to tranquility to quiet and deep silence with no reason to speak alone just me dwelling with my poetry sometimes the stru- ggle is just too much and I am weary the hill is too high the answer unknown to me so maybe I will do nothing that's what my father used to say to me "when you don't know what to do do nothing" __________________________ January 23, 2018 Poetry/Free Verse/Simple Mutterings/the hill is too high Copyright Protected, ID 18-985-746-01 All Rights Reserved.

...and doing nothing is doing something, problem solved. I used to smile when the task manager on my Pc said that the 'idle' process was running at 99%.... reminded me of the song 'Busy doing nothing' by Bing Crosby. A nice piece, Constance, escape into silence is an important but rare commodity nowadays. Recharge your batteries. Viv x

Viv, thank you, I seem to be a person who needs lots of quiet time, I am a thinker and I need to dwell and ponder things for awhile, and as we know writing can be a great tool for releasing feelings and in silence doing nothing is not such a bad place to be !

Maureen, thank you. Some when reading this poem may think I have given up hope, but my soul just needs to rest, yes my words do tend to linger with those who understand !

What did your mother used to say? Your writing is beautiful, deep, sometimes dark, but that's good, sometimes light. What's important is what your heart says...listen to yourself, close all the other noise out.

Leanne, thank you. My mother was a good listener, when I would come to her with my sad woes looking for answers she would say to me, you know the answer! And I would look at her with tears and then, it would come to me, I always knew the answer before I even started talking.

If it is not personal, fair enough ... a very poetic piece ... if personal, I must say that you have done many a thing ... and continue to do so ... be that as it may, you have done this one too very nicely ...

Probir, thank you. This is very personal, there are days when that hill I am climbing is a mountain high and I need to stop and rest, I am planning a new collection of poems called Simple Mutterings in addition to my Dream Poetry Collection and of course then there are all the other poems I have
