It’s Late
Virginia Salter

it’s late
and apathy is trying to get an invitation
not to mention hopelessness

but I’m too busy
doing other things
thinking other thoughts
they won’t get in
not tonight

my link to the outside world
seems out of sync tonight
like looking out the window
seeing only shadows and blackness
hearing only white noise in the distance
as a rumble, a hum,
a numb ear listens

cyberspace
old words await in messages
messages sent days ago
and, as if captured in a bottle,
they wait silently
within the choices one might take
to awake
the nobleness of the heart
and in tenderness of spirit
to read, to see, to feel
to understand

this is such a cool poem,
you have captured the sometimes lonely feeling late at night..sitting at the computer..
so often we fill our needs with cybertime
when "real" contact is not around us
excellent writing
take care

Sprayed across my heart and hers
Danced butterflies in the wild
This angel, this woman ,
who loves me with the innocence of a child.
