Please forgive my absence. I've had a heavy heart of late and like a turtle, I retreat into my shell when I am sad. I do care for you all...

Poem Artwork

 


The slipper


is filled with India ink


And a blotter of sky


 shadows the beckoning stars


So this is the emptiness


All thats left are voided words


still fresh from my foolish pen

Dead stars that fall in a black sky


A dream was swallowed by the sun


Victim of my own illusion


And my heart is a slivered moon


 


(c) Linda Gayton 2005

Beautiful poem, Linda...make a wish on each of those stars as they drop from the sky and cast their final bit of energy into the forevermore. All that is beautiful is placed here for us; find the courage to marvel at it all. It is great to have you back, you have been missed.
Take care,
Sherry

"Eclipse" flows from the fountain of understanding... Beauty
and knowledge glow through its lines of poetic compliance.

I salute You, Poet!

Good to see you back and I hope whatever made you sad is behind you. I will pray that it is.

A person whom I considered to be very wise, once told me "for every time we laugh in life, we cry ten times" I've had many years to think on this and I have realized that I have been a victim,many times of others, yet many times of my own misconceptions, and sometimes of both. Excellent write, enjoy reading you. Sad that you are sad. I believe in the cycle of life. Another time for you to laugh will surely come. Pierre

Dearest Linda
I'm glad your back! I've heard an expression 'True as a Turtle' and true as a trutle you are back ... and honest ... 'Victim of my own illusion' ... oh how many times do we need to remind ourselves of that in this lifetime ... It seems, always and ever!
With Love, Hugs, and welcome back out Suzie xoxxox
