Gratitude and Regret

thank you!

thank you so much for choosing us, 

for letting us explore the world with you

for making us ride along in your writing journey

for letting us give shape to your characters

for letting us turn your random ramblings, 

your geeky and freaky moods into pieces of delightful art, 

and pen insightful essays with a fresh perspective 

which earned you plaudits unbound.

thank you for making us an integral part of your life.

.

alas!

it seems like a thing of the distant past

when the stream of thoughts flowed unhindered

it kills us to see you staring vacantly into the blank spaces, 

self-doubt, anxiety, desperation, writ large on your face

you long to adorn the parchment with vibrant colors

your vivid imagination needs a free run

but the golden ink of your pen refuses to flow

oh, dear! we keep failing you, again and again,

and for that we, your words, are immensely sorry.

  1. Dear Seema, if you feel you have lost your words or your muse, or the muse has failed you. Fear not. You are inspiring and your work speaks for itself. A little low phase is okay. Happens to all now that you have restarted you will soar once more
