Pen to the Paper 26
Season Three of Pen to the Paper is coming in full swing! Write a story, poem, stream of conscious... anything under the sun! No restrictions. The challenge? Oh, yeah, there is a restriction. You have to write it without planning. I know. It's horrifying. Looking forward to seeing what you guys write! There are no draft restrictions.

Stranded

I allow the thought to pull me in once more,

how gentle your touch once seemed.

How little I knew of myself back then,

trapped in a place, where time refused to move.

We had built our home on hollow ground

praying for the earth not to shake,

as I carried our love blindly, in both hands,

with the notion that my will was enough.

Still the tighter I held, the more that I lost.

Now here we stand, how many miles apart,

stranded in the aftermath of ignorance,

watching every promise unravel at our feet.
