So much has changed and yet I sit here still at my keyboard with the unassailable desire to scream my words into the ether. I've published a book of my poetry, and I'm considering doing a second with more than poetry in it. The voices in my head whisper, "why?"
Should I push myself to write? Will I ever be a novelist... will I forever remain a hobbyist... where can I get feedback, a voice that calls back to me, something other than an echo from the darkness.

felt light instead of
empty
hungering for more
Feels them like raindrops; renew
