Hungry for Your Pen

In my dream I walk under southern stars...
not alone - as empty days of summer,
You are there, my friend;
sharing the wonders of your life-
bountiful blessings mingle with dark lessons

I can only smile and watch the light in your eyes...
We have walked a path, you and I, and shared our lives
though distance would separate the bodies,
it is the heart and minds that are

bound together by the written word...

And a love of things eternal and unspoken.

 

Long has it been since my eyes have seen

the wonder and glory of your thoughts.

Life dealt a hand that kept me from

the blessed realm where you reside;

stirring down the lane... 

 

I come now - after a long absence

to find this house with new coats of paint,

and the drapes, long familiar, have been ripped down;

oh, how I long for the days of green goodness!

Sing me a song dear Poet!

    Beautiful!

    Such a heartfelt write! All fasts come to an end, Poet, as do droughts. It seems that you have been a mighty patient friend. That virtue always pays off in the end. Soon the twain shall meet...

    Missing the billowing curtains here, too. Change is not always easy to accept, hmmm? Oh, them good ol' days!

    Bravo!

    Dear Presence, I am thinking of dear Silentium as I read this. I pray that he is well! Some of us were touched by his dear words! Also, dear poet we are better poets because of him and others here! You have been through so much but you always sing me a song dear poet, always! Jane

      My dear Jane, how my heart longs for the days of old as they unfolded before our hearts and minds upon these digital pages not so long ago... words flowed freely from those dear friends who have commented upon this humble piece - and those who such as the beloved poet Silentium who inspired and encouraged us to pour our hearts upon the page. Ah, but alas! That these days of lack have come to pass upon my notebook, and here am I looking for want of a verse to splash upon the page for you. It is always good to hear from friends... more especially at this time of the year. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Jane, for you are a blessing to my life. Merry Christmas!

    The uplifting quality of this piece is grand, yet there is still a hint of sadness and nostalgia. In your highest of thoughts what dreams reside, dear Friend? The wisdom you give is never absent from the hearts of those whom you have given it to. Your words help give shelter to this house, which is a lovely home. Be well, my Friend. Your spirit soars!

    This is such an eloquent piece. I loved the last verse and I love the knowledge you share that distance could never separate the heart and knowledge of what we all share. Sometimes we miss the people we love with long absences and then sometimes it is too late. When it is too late sometimes we look back with regret, but after a while the pain recedes and the house with the new drapes becomes a beautiful sight for someone else to share in. I do not know if this was your intention, but this was what it evoked in me. Well done on an excellent piece of work

    lovely

    A beautiful ode to the subtle moments difficult to capture...the moments which i find are truly the stuff of the finest poetry. subtlety is slowly losing its substance in today's world. this work drips with it.

    Welcome back, and hear the songs we have sung in your "absence." New paint perhaps, but the underbelly is the same!
    This is a poignant piece, Presence, and I look forward to continuing our talks.
    peace
