After the Holidays

The quiet days are back.
The gray skies have settled.
I am, once again, facing a blank page.
Uninspired, lonely, sad.

I wish for nothing.
I hope nothing.
I see no vistas ahead,
No marvelous rescues.

Writing is hard.
Writing is lonely.
Can I see the good?
Can I offer hope?

Now that’s a fantasy.
To sell an idea you’ve gotta believe.
All those upbeat ads and movies
Never reached the truth.

What is the truth?
Who knows.
I know days come and go.
I know I’m tired of fantasy.

Books that have happy endings
Books that promise a cure.
Books full of hope and words.
A lot of words.
