Poem title: Conversations Poet name: Susan Ksiezopolski Poem: Tender souls weep even the day casts clouds soaked in sadness as the world unravels with unpredictability. Excuse me if I don’t join the conversation words are without essence talk lacks sustenance no compensation for prolific pain yet, to keep silent festers fear words are worthless now no amount of literary precision can save me from this wretched restlessness. Silence is needed to clear the way to release comprehension inner stillness is the key for the unraveling to stop. So, excuse me while I cultivate silence loosening my tongue-tied thoughts dispensing my words dispersing my emotions. Where they will land softly cradled among the twisted letters peeking between the lines. To be read by fragile eyes waiting and weeping for words to free my soul for talk to feed my hunger.
