So tired
So tired
and I hear you calling to me
poetry sings to me
of thoughts and dreams
life and love
rush through your words
I want them
I want them all
but I am so tired
I wish to tell you of the beauty
of the love and joy and anger and despair
I see in your words
the synapses are not firing
the words are stuck somewhere
I can't find them
I am so tired
all I wish to do is connect and relate
to your magic words on the page
I hear you calling, but
less call over time
over time your voice gets more distant
one day I may not hear it at all
will the day come when you no longer call?
frustration fills me
as I disappear
what can I do?
sadness fills my soul
do you still know that I care?
I am so tired

I know that you care and I understand. It's nearly akin to losing you muse. Your true friends will always be here for you and will do what they can to help. Let me know if you need anything. The poem is excellent, btw. I admire your talent. Thank you for posting to our group.
I'm tired too. I feel ya.

Dear Chana, don't worry. Poetry is like exercise. Feeling tired makes it seem harder and harder to do or even think of doing. But when we do it, it's actually invigorating. It energizes us! Just keep writing and the writing will do the rest.

I fully agree with Jen. :-) Hang on there, Chanochka, dear, and thank you for the great piece!

Great memories there.

I think I am drawn to your writing because we're kind of on different ends of the spectrum.
You are very explicit with your meaning, and it goes over very well.
Whereas I usually don't even want people to explicitly know what I'm talking about.

:O) I think my favorite thing about this piece, is that it's about writing.
I get the same feeling from this that I get from various songs. They just make me think about music. Music in music, and writing in writing.
:O) beautiful.

Excellent Poem, Chana.

I love your poem response to John's lyrics.

Chana, I do understand. We wrtie only when that part of the brain feels like it. Sometimes it flows out of me, and sometimes I have to grind it out.. But for me, it seems that it is always better if it just comes out, rather than pushing it

This is quite the interesting poem for me to read right now. I was so tired after work today that I took a two hour nap.
I feel more refreshed now.
By the way, lovely poem!
Thanks for posting this to my group, Anythingwriting

Hang in there, Chana. You are allowed to be tired, you're human.
Your muse and your talent will not leave you or walk away, sometimes we just need to step away and refresh ourselves.
You will always feel that pull, but you can't answer the call when you're tired.

Your muse will return and we all have been tired.
Have a great gather day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chana, for me it has never been tired, but busy ... but oh how frustrating it can be when we WANT to write, and cannot! But, my dear, YOU CAN!!!!

Thanks for posting in Journey Into Poetry !
