A beautiful poem was alive in my head-

Pillaged by a new thought, all the poetry fled.

What were the words? I cant remember!

My brain isn’t working, my thoughts dismembered...

Great, now the poem is dead!

About the Creator

Kristen Balyeat

Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night—I’m humbly one of the vessels they use to come to life.

Also, i love you:)
