Hell

       Hell

  No moon
  No stars in sight
  The sky is invisible
  In this absence of light

  No noise
  Nothing moves 
  The world has come to a stop
  As if waiting for its cue

  No touch
  All alone
  Suspended animation
  This place that I call home

  Can you see what isn't there
  Do you feel what I can't touch
  If this place is really hell
  Why do I visit it so much

Hi Judy, On edge...kind of what I imagine hell must be like, huh? I think writers write some of their best work, when they are in 'hell.' Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to respond. Greatly appreciated. Sue

Good write

I've been there. My home now is only Hell because it is located 706 miles from heaven. Take Care. huey
