A blank page
Absence of inspiration
Longing for muse
To sing in me

Trying to find life
In the smallest of things
But the world seems
Dead and silent

A muted cry for living
Reaches and echoes
Only to be bounced off
The walls of empty caves

Screams cannot be heard
For they are thousands fathoms deep
Within a burdened soul
Searching for what cannot be found
