No Song of the Lark

by John Barber

I don’t know why I share my thoughts

Other's interest fails to be caught

None inspired, lives not wrought

Further insight is never sought

I suppose I seek to strike a spark

To brighten where it might be stark

To enlighten someone lost in the dark

Or inspire a thoughtful journey or even a lark

My desire to share my mind is waning

I have no reason for writing or painting

This lack of connection is draining

My motivation is unsustaining

No one cares what I have to say

I’ll recede into the grey

My work will never leave a mark

I won’t create someone’s Song of the Lark
