# Day Of Empty Poem by Sonya Florentino

# Day Of Empty

Rating: 2.5


I hope it’s still far away
That day
When I will stare blankly at a page
Empty, waiting
And I,
not being able to write anything

For that would be the day I died
When I can or no longer
want to write
When the blank page remains white
Looking back at me
achingly, knowing it's that day
... of empty

Everything runs in cycles. Can't all be uphill.

I think that everyone who truly loves to write would have to empathize with these words (and let's hope it never comes to such a realization) . It would seem very much like a death; like the end of communication and purpose.

a good farmer has to leave the land fallow for some time to regain and sustain its fertility... it's like a sunday of a week.

Without creative expression, life would be bleak indeed. You have expressed every poet's nightmare with a cartoonist's eye in this neatly penned piece. Your title is great too. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

When you cannot write, is that when the soul dies or life has lost its meaning?
