 the absence poem

 

I want to go again

into the authors den

and read what writers

have been saying

 

their words are gold

my eyes are old

but I can ‘feel’ what 

they are saying

 

watching that stage

from page to page

and voice to voice

I want to keep on staying

 

but the clock strikes ten

and damned again

I must leave the den

with writing still remaining

 

I’ve been gone so long

while much more went on,

and I lose myself in what

they’re saying

So many distractions, and recently illnesses and aging… Some of us even succumbing to death. Makes it great to find someone like you coming back and trying to read all that you missed. It's literally impossible, but I try to keep up while still doing my writing which seems to increase as I get older and bolder.

You've written a lovely poem that is so personal that it reminds me of the one where the poet came to a fork in the road and had to decide which one to take… "The one less traveled by."

I beam I shine I wine I dine
In the absence of adjectives and adverbs.
You validate my soul and we are friends to the end.

There are poets and there are poets. You of the latter keep those of us in the former humbled and appreciative of your presence. Welcome back and know many of us have missed you. Namaste, dear poet.

"My eyes are old..." If you're on Windows, Diana, press and hold Ctrl, and then roll your mouse wheel forward. This increases the size of the font so it's easier to read. Your words are clear and heartfelt. Thanks for sharing. Peace.... r

People come and go, but the writer's den and those still posting endure. Welcome back.
