The Unappreciated Poet.
A Phantom page of white stares like an unknown abyss, a grey line blinks while awaiting the textures and life in the way of words.
The words don't form. The line awaits blinking.
The poet sits procrastinating over words, the way they form what to rhyme them with.
Her brain is a buzz with almost too many choices, and scenes like epic battles, ice and beaches of an unknown land followed by romantic dreams.
The line moves and half a word is forced on the blank canvas, the poet willing anything to help the flow like rain to a river.
The letters form on the page of white giving life to the page, sentences start to form, like an newly found path among the trees.
The mist of prosecution of the expressed road by the depressed mind makes it a battle of wits with an unseen enemy.
Paragraphs cut down by a delete button in less than a few moments, she freezes at a word urging it to reform so she win a few steps of blessed ground
Her battlefield in her mind, she fights for her right to expression, her pen like a dagger making slashes across the cloud of depression.
Light sears though the holes and the cloud dissipates into nothing to give way to the poem that seems worthy of its own saga.
Finally at peace with what's written she reads it over and over. The veil of the defeated enemy sits around her feet.
The poet gifts it to the world willing to share in the glory of battle that this poem was worthy of
And still it sits in the dark void, forever it seems unappreciated, alone.
