Stillness
—————–
Words seem to have left me
Orphaned
I crave nothing
The stillness within
Scares me
I watch it
Lying curled in my core
Like a foetus
Will it grow, I wonder
I watch it with trepidation
I’m not used to this
This quietude
Should I tease it
With a scalpel
To see if it will respond?
Or let it lie
Till it grows and envelopes
The world?
A being of quiet
Devouring
Words

Sir, thank you so much for the appreciation and welcome
Is this the stillness before the storm?! A perfect capture of disconcerting ‘stillness’/writer’s block.Lovely.
Thank you, Vijay sir
Should I tease it
With a scalpel!
Masterstroke of a poetic genius
Thank you so much
