My words have left me. Disembarked from the wrong platform, and have hastily become a distant memory. When shall my thoughts return? That once so delicately graced my tongue, and consorted with my hand to pen it so. To where shall I wonder? Barren of verse and prose; now disposed virtues. Must I craft asylum in a foreign land? It is not words that betray, but silence. For it lends no comfort, nor offers expression, but lingers like an ill-gotten nuance. Oh words, value your mortal vessel and return. Omit the distance that separates us so, and eagerly scribe again within mind and satchel.

Must be true Jan... But oh sometimes it feels like our ability to express is thus diminished, at a loss without it. But as you say, it always returns to us. X GB, Charlotte
