Stagnant

Blue above and Blue below, Clumps of clouds, Falling slow. Airplanes surge but do not move. The elephant passes in the room. I try to sleep, to turn away, Turning pages yet the story stays Stagnant. I look everywhere except at you. I see nothing, except for you.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.

Hi Zin, Way to go! I love your writing style. The thoughts expressed bring out the emotions very well - stagnation is not a prided quality yet at times it comes in quantity. Well penned.
