Poem by Delilah Wurth

Sometimes it seems as if there is nothing left

To be said

Nor to be noticed

the words, the thoughts, leave your body 

It is overwhelming, whatever "It" is 

This moment,

This feeling

You take it all in but are left with nothing 

But a blank page.

That’s the beauty of this life

To live it means to experience all it has to offer 

Even when you are left speechless on your drive home

Left to learn that the silence isn't bad,

The silence is proof that everything is worth noticing

That the absence of something

Leaves an impact.
