pondering my words

The last words posted here were my most "successful" yet.

Brian McLaren linked the post.

It was widely shared.

And ... 

I haven't written since.

A month and a half.

No words.

Why?

I could say that I'm busy.

That would be true.

I could say that I was wounded.

That is also true.

But maybe 

I'm actually

just afraid.

And so maybe the words I need to say most

Are simply those.

Out loud.

Sometimes

I am still afraid.

I have more to say

More to sing

So much more.

I'm waiting ...

And,

Yes, 

Pondering

Till the words return.
