Lost & Found

peter molloy

The pen falls silent in my hand
Easy thoughts cloud the colours that are true
 Washing away the day
 I press myself hard against the wall
Craving the scent of words melting into crisp paper

My muse...my love...my white light
No more than a breath away
Touching the floor with angels wings
Delivering my heart back into my hand
