Wordless Day

There are days
When words do not
Come out to play


There are nights
When sighs do not
Tell a story


Today is such 
A wordless day
When voice fails


I sit with me
Feel blur empty space 
Mental fatigue drowns


I try to squeeze
A simple line from blank
Nothing comes out


There are sure times
When voice feels full
Today feels empty


Patiently I wait
For surge of rhyme
No words come


Even impulse
Sounds no alarm
No word refrain


Then I squeeze
Lines without rhymes
String blank verse


Make sense
Of empty lines
Blur, empty, nothing
