Have the words gone dry from my digital well?
Has the passion drifted from my body,
season washing season,
leaving me with the bare branches of what once was,
a shadow of a cleared forest?

Are there stories left?
Not just pieces,
fractured tales,
random inspirations dripping upon my head
only to evaporate without a trace.

Is five the number for me?
Is that the limit set for this journey
among the stars,
galaxies swirling,
comets blazing?

Am I the man who foresaw his own conclusion?
Or the father who never got a chance to return to the arcade with his son?
Did the music continue to play to my deaf ears?

Perhaps my path was with Lucy's.
A destined tragedy.
We held a light
in the form of words,
but it was in a language no one could understand,
or cared to learn.

Here I stand.
I search the fire
somewhere within.
Embers in the ash of my marrow.

If I can just find enough of them...
If I can find the breath of my inspiration...
It can start all over again.
A blaze.
Word after beautiful word.

Embers Within

A new-found forest.
