i cannot write when all is well <br />i need the grins that miss a tooth <br />i need the tolling of a bell <br />and for a little blackened truth <br /> <br />so sad the worlds bright today <br />so sad that words will never come <br />without a darker shade of gray <br />and the setting of the sun <br /> <br />but let this go this brilliant sky <br />this will not help me fill this page <br />and give me storms that never die <br />and i will write with brilliant rage <br /> <br />and leave me be this love you say <br />what will i write if all is well <br />i need a darker shade of gray <br />and distant tolling of the bell<br /><br />Ben Paynter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-cannot-write-when-all-is-well/
