Unspoken

Only time will tell... -what I will, and will not tell.

Not‐

One‐

Word‐

Without a sound made

Even silence can be loud

Lips‐

Sealed‐

Mouth closed, but mind open

Thousands of thoughts

Pictures in motion

Some good

Some bad

None of which will see the light of day

Nor the light of the moon

And very few will make it to the page

Then to be pruned

How many will make it to the public?

What ink will dry and never feel the warmth of the sun?

What pages will never be face to face with eyes other than my own?

Only time will tell...

What I will, and will not tell-

About the Creator

Josh Morgan

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.

    Oh this is a thought-provoking little piece. Also, I need to apologise to you, Josh, as you put forward some pieces for my challenge I ran a while ago, a shockingly long time ago, that I never got round to reading. I am making it an aim over the next week or so to get back to everyone that responded. I got snowed under and then things happened offline around that time and I dropped the ball a little. But, making amends in the coming week. Really enjoyed this poem and congrats on Top Story.
