If Only I Could Get Back

Seem to be falling behind
Setbacks and much more
If only I could get back
To where I was before

Needing to find the words
Its been difficult to explain
If only I could get back
To writing once again

Here with my pen in hand
I was frustrated obviously
If only I could get back
Finding the poet in me

Whilst blank pages await
In another sleepless night
If only I could get back
My confidence to write

The creative spark I seek
Not wanting to lose touch
If only I could get back
I miss writing so much

There you are, Hope! I have sure missed you. It doesn't look like your muse is very far.

High, Hope!

My goodness, girl! Each poem we write does not have to be a masterpiece! Just write! ~ about anything! How you're feeling, what you're doing, what you see...

See what you have done with this one! You just wrote what you were thinking ~ and voila! A very touching poem was born!!!

Hope, I ALWAYS enjoy reading what you have to say. ~ and it does not need to be poetic perfection each time, either! ~ Mind you, everything you ever write is poetically expressed!

I collect poems by poets who write about writing poetry and about being a poet ~ and I'd like to tuck this one away as well!

Dear Hope, no need to go back, you are moving graciously forward and you are writing always beautifully. Be kind and patient with the Muse, she is probably trying to tell you something, but you being worried, can't hear her.

Relax and look around you ... there are so many things that would wish to be recorded by your skilled pen.

Love,
Margherita
