To No Avail

by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen — Read all 1,670 poems by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen

Gathering up
the disappearing strands,
in fistfuls of gossamer,
sensing a uselessness,
missing the passion,
she awaits muse's...
enlightenment, to
dazzle her eyes,
fire her center,
thrill her core,
send her into
mind-transcending poetic nirvana...
to no avail.

She is muted.
Changed
by a little death
of her soul.

Like all of us Erin, we would be great wonderful poets, but alas, though we build sand castles filled with poetry in our minds; when the muse goes on strike, we are stuck with piles of jumbled words that make no sense. Bill Murray
