I wish there was a place,
Outside this world ,
Far from the noise ..
I wish there were words,
Inside this void ,
Meaning silence in poise..

This unfinished poem sat unloved inside the dark corner of my draft folder.
There are three half -finished “heart-out ” posts I wrote for NaBloPoMo , I gave more importance to them .
Sometimes , fictions filled with words take less effort ; a poem with less words needs more contemplation. So, when I tried to finish the poem this evening, I failed.
Today was a dull day ; I had no words in my mind after the clock hit 5 o’clock, even though whole day I waited for 5 O’clock to happen!
In my life , according to my own dictionary , I call these days “blurred days” ; in future when I’ll look back to November 2013 I’ll see only my good times , days when my posts got more hits and applause ; this day , this piece of work won’t even matter.
The process of life is like the portrait photography ; glories and good times are the ornamental foreground and the dull days hide behind , blurred ,forgettable , out of focus .
Or maybe , a day like this outgrows the window dressing one creates everyday , so the focus has to shift to better things!

*** Do you have “blurred days”? How do you stay creative on those days? Do you feel your day is incomplete if you leave your poem half-expressed?
Spread the words..
A Journey Called Life ... 
Ha ha , how true!now it feels like that. That day , it was killing me ..:) Thank you , C.K 🙂
Honestly I loved the poem. It was a blurred day that worked out well, definitely not a failure at all! 🙂
Ok 🙂
I will be back to it.! I am crazily overworked and writing a post everyday takes the extra time. But I did not forget. 😀
As i said 😛 Blur is good 😛 You still haven’t picked up the word game 😀
Thank you , Ree. 😀 Today is a good day! 😀
Ya , Ya! Me..:D Window dressing has a shut down time! 😀 😛
Thank you , Nadig. 🙂 Really , I was looking forward to 5 pm whole day..:D and when it appeared ,I had my “blurred day”..:D
Ha ha ha. I too have that. I really felt bad about not writing anything yesterday! :D..This morning , though, focus shifted. :)..Nablopomo is National Blog Posting Month , hosted by http://www.blogher.com/. The participant bloggers are supposed to write at least one post per day; Rara has made this small but wonderful poblano team who are part of Nablopomo and celebrating each other everyday.:)
That is so true , Marie. When we are still , the universe speaks .I always have something that’s going on -project, work , and I search for a still mind everyday. Thank you for writing in. 🙂
I don’t search out creativity, I let it come to me. The poems the words, they appear after a day sitting in front of a window watching, when I am still the universe speaks, when I sleep the words form, when I wake I write.
Hi Archita, I have a nagging mind, can’t keep anything unfinished otherwise it will not let me sleep which is sometimes very irritating. What is ‘ NaBloPoMo’ dear?
Sometimes blur is good 😛 The beauty of this would have been reduced if it had been finished 😛 LOved it!! 🙂
Blurred days ? and you? loved the poem. I have seen I write well on those blurred days!
Happy Blurred Day to you! Here’s to tomorrow , the bright one!
