The Witching Hour

The witching hour,
The poet’s hour,
An hour that doesn’t exist.
At this hour you question everything,
And nothing.
The answers always the same,
The answer doesn’t exist.

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." Be blessed.

The Poet's hour can be any hour, Shane, my muse visits when she pleases. A great first submission to the site. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I'm sure you'll have a great time here, sharing and reading with us fellow wordsmiths. Enjoy. Regards, Viv
