Adrift For Words A Poem

I almost wanted cry
He mentioned my writing
Some serious poetry
If we were go do
A thing we once
Dreamt about
Sailing on his sail boat.

I have lost my voice.
It has been overwhelmed.
My thoughts taken over
By the sadness that surrounds
Nearly everyone.
Yes, there are glimmers of hope
But they are not on
The tip of my tongue.

Folks keep mentioning
It will come around again.
Words will flow.
Just start slow.
Maybe use that habit
Of brainstorming.
Take one word
And work outward.
How rudimentary.
How weak I must seem
To have to go back to this
It is so elementary.
But I get it.
Like a person rehabbing
From an accident.
One step, yes one step
Then another
Until I get back
To where I once was.

And if I ever do go sailing
I might not think of writing
I might just take it in
Savor the moment.

Does it always have be
About my accounting?
I have taken
That by choice.
No one has demanded
My voice.
It was my self expression
My presentation
And representation
Of the world.
But wouldn't it be nice
no longer be adrift?
Adrift for words.

 Loosing your voice... is not a good thing.
Gargle? With salt and water? 🤔
Or... wait for it to come back. 😶

Well Paul, gargling with salt and water is not the way to get this kind of voice back but it does help with a sore throat. LOL I know my losing my writing voice is such a miniscule problem in the grand scheme of things. It just is my own expression. I hope all is well with you Mr. Canada.

 We're all kind of lost for words.
In strange and unfamiliar times.
Still too soon to gather in herds.
I'd still like to read your rhymes.

Thank you for your comment my friend. It made me smile. You are so very thoughtful to make me a rhyming comment. I know it takes some work so I am super appreciative. I hope you are well over there across the pond.
