The Poet Is Sleeping
written by: Barbara Deraoui

The inspiration is gone
Flew like a flash somewhere
The muse has left
The poet is sleeping
Darkness has replaced light
Heaviness is in the spirit
As I struggle with my thoughts
As I struggle with my feelings
I am stopped cold
I feel lost
The poet is sleeping
The muse has left
No more sounds of sweet music
No more inspirational thoughts
No more magical dreams
I lost my purpose
The poet is sleeping
I am searching for the light
I am searching for my friend
Inspiration
I hope to find it soon
I miss it
