AS SHE PRESSED
21 May 2011

As she pressed
Send and Receive
for the millionth time,
she wished, for a moment,
that it was as easy
as that
to bring him back to her . . .

but then

she realised that something
so precious
deserved infinitely more
than
simply
pressing
an electronic button

but then

that was before . . .

A poem of things changing...
Yes, "before" was different.
One to think about, Diana.
enjoyed, as allways.

Do you remember the "unsend" button??!!

I loved that little feature once upon a time.


Your poem is heartfelt and expressed so well, Lady Owl~

There are the moments when one
admire
then desires
then abhors
change.

Well done, Diane!

Thank you, Ford.  I am glad you enjoyed it.  Thank you, for your kind words.  Yes, change plays a role in the poem - simultaneously a significant and insignificant one.

No, Blues, I don’t remember the Unsend button – perhaps at that stage, I hadn’t yet touched computers.  It must have been a handy option!  Thank you for the sweet things you said.

Thanks for your input, Jerry.  I am sorry you know what I mean – and I know you know what I mean!

Yes, Karilea, I suppose so.  Smiles.

Sorry to hear that Brad, but glad I could offer indirect empathy through the poem.

Thanks, Kat.  Glad you enjoyed it.
