Thanks Stan, and Mike. There was supposed to be a stanza break in front of Some jokes.... But I'm sure you assumed that. Ursula

Nothing seems right to write. Everything is too heavy or too light. The colours too dark or too bright around the edges. Everything seems wrong. Some jokes are too crass. Others too obvious. Or too obscure. I'm not sure how to begin. Or where to end. Mired. Tired between the two. Keeping busy without a song.
Sadness sifts down around my ears. Fears settle softly on my desk. My papers covered in dust. My books no longer fussed over or read. My head, my heart so far apart.
Nothing is what it seems. Feel the sunshine on my arms, its charms stolen from long ago dreams. It seems hard and harder to be alone. A stone lies in my heart.
