I Bleed Muted Words

 

 

 

The Nightingale sings.

Its piercing shrill impales me.

I bleed muted words.

I would be lost if it were not for poetry! Thank you, Pat!

Oh, what inconsolable words, what heart-rending imagery. The melancholia of this piece has transfixed me too. Powerful write dear friend!

...you've single-handedly made my day! ..but then again, you usually do! ; )

You are the nightingale who sings....knocking back into the light of loving feelings and whimsical proportions.
I am not sure if it is your phrasing, your simplicity, or just your essence that helps me remember .......but it works every time :)
