Analysis of Saying something to a poet who has lost altitude
It happens and
You think your world is shifting
Once you had the brave
Tales, scenes, values.
Now all is drifting.
Words were novel, catchy
They came from sources
Arresting.
Now the dullness, sameness
Is so very testing…
So just pause.
Focus on happy stuff.
Children forest seashore
Those should be enough
To raise horizons.
Get the juices flowing.
God is in the Rescue.
His Heart knowing.
His Creation births
Some glorious dreams.
His attentions.
Bring fresh air
It seems.
So write.
