Ah I definitely relate. But as long as the mind does not become dormant, or please-not-vacant, you are not entirely lost, but perhaps in hibernation? Fear not! and seize the words when they strike.

I have noticed your absence, and I love how you come back with a poem about your hiatus. I can completely relate to this poem and I feel as if you almost wrote it for me. Bravo.

I love the personalness of this. I'm glad you wrote another poem and hope you'll continue to write more.

Write, anyway, even if the muses are gone. You're one of the best poets I've ever read, and even your worst, your shoddiest is worth reading.
