Missing the Den

~~~*~~~

My thoughts are always with you all

Even As I am absent from you

Walking down the hall

I crave to be there with you

Read you guys day and night

But the reality

Of my present surroundings

Keep me away.

~~*~~

I feel like an addict

A junkie being drawn

Towards your direction

Every time I pass a computer

Because I know that’s where

My heart resides

Incarcerated in cyber space.

~~*~~

I do sneak in

Once in a while

Or as the old clehe goes

Once in a Blue moon.

Sneak in,

So I am not talked about

Like “He should be taking care of her”

Instead of farting around with the computer

~~*~~

My mind has not relaxed

My quill

I must say is still within my grasp

My ink well is filled

My poetic values I still possess

I still brand the blank parchments

Present before me

With the Gift the Lord has given me.

~~*~~

Yet I can’t be there with you

My friends, my favorite writers

My readers and great reviewers

And like my grandson say

“My Homies”

That one was for him

Because he truly inspires me.

~~*~~

Yes you do Lil Curt

“I call him the Pimp”

Because he’s kind of kool

Smooth as silk

Handsome like Grandpa used to be

At least that’s what they say

Who am I to argue

Has a good head on his shoulders

For a young man maturing

Being weighted down with wisdom

At his early age.

~~*~~

I have to take care of

“The One”

Most important in my live

She who has grown and aged

Gracefully and ever so beautifully

While by my side

In all our years she was

The one that was always there for me

When I opened my eyes

Not knowing where I was

My lovely Graying Raven

If only you could have seen her

In her Yesteryears

As beautiful as a Cover Girl.

~~*~~

She needs me now

Those vows I Took

Almost half century ago

I am abiding by now

For ever and ever

Till death do us part

No she’s not dying

Just recovering from major surgery

A slow process

I can hear her lively laughter as

I am writing…….

She’s on the phone

What else is new????

~~*~~

Your absence is well stated in this beautiful poem. Of course we miss you William, but time given to the caring of another, or to ourselves, is far more important. Know that your AD "chair" awaits your return, friend. Blessings and Love - Micke

William, I know you are with us in spirit, and for me, I know your inner feelings are real, and you always speak from the heart. I will be in touch, perhaps D'Artagnan needs another dose of Amber collaboration! I will keep sending healing energy out to your wife for a more speedy recovery. Just remember that you are always in my thoughts. Peace, love, and light, Amber "V"

Lots of bottled up thoughts and feelings escaping in this one William and that is sometimes the best way to release emotional stress that we often carry packed away like last winter's clothes. Hope all goes well and you are back writing with us soon. fee

Sorry to hear your beloved wife is recovering from major surgery, but glad she is on the mend; please take care of her (and yourself), and take all the time you need. We'll still be here, waiting. Know you are loved and are in our prayers/thoughts! (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( My twin sister knows this all too well; she was in your shoes nearly three years ago when I was so sick and had major surgery myself. It was not easy for either one of us, but I think it was hardest on her.

(((William))) (((HUGS))) love and prayers - we miss you, too. :( Come back when you can, but take care of your family, first. And yourself. Karla.
