At the urging of two great poets,
Ethel and Richy...I changed the this to
"We Are Poetry."
Thanks for your help.

After endless
sabbatical,
you reappear
at my door.

Knock barely
audible
above life’s
deafening noise.

Persistent in
your calling,
I allow you
to enter.

Silent
moments spent
in strained
negotiations.

But again
in your hands,
I place all
that is self.

I give to you
my heart,
my soul,
my mind.

I breathe life
in you as
you breathe
life in me.

You are me.
And I am you.
As one,
We are poetry.

Patricia I think this was so great!

You really hit one here...


I don’t know much about “Him?”

But what I do know about “You”


At the very least...

I see the ending of your poem, as...


“We Are Poetry”


Wonderful piece Patricia...

I’m very proud of you!

Richy,
Well, isn't that the ultimate compliment or is it complement...I can never keep those two straight. I must say, I do like your ending.  But then someone might think me a bit conceited or is it concieted?  LOL  Free verse too, dear...big departure...don't do this often.  You know we are the ryhme time kids.

Thanks for being you!

Exactly! Just what PIP did for me, at a point where I had given up on myself as a poet, stopped writing, and probably forever this time....posted one here because I had read a few and wanted to give something back...then that little knock at my inner door....and Voila! Here I am.

You are me.
And I am you.
Together we
are one.

You are poetry.



I agree with Richard.....it should
read "we are poetry"...just    because.  
Hugs,
Ethel

There is poetry in everything we do. Thanks for pointing that out.
