She’s Still There I thought she had followed my steps there in the sand, back to the loaner, but there she is, still walking her shores, still at home in sounds of yesterday, with birds feeding on her own surf songs as mist filters through her rays she’s still walking there, between morning through evening tides, sea grass circling her ankles, salt clinging to her skin sunlight glinting off her hair, her voice a muted cry Come home again  and I wonder if she will return to the summer gone sun of Kansas before the snow begins to kiss the last of the bluestem before I miss her too much, before winter tracks traces of time in footprints and grayer skies kiss my brow  I am here, and she is there… and I wonder if she is looking for a new pair of hands to hold her warm, keep her safe, allow her to be herself, and I wonder if I shall ever write without her, for she is enthusiasm and love, smiles, and heartbeats, long pondering moments of grace, and a certain chic that I would borrow from time to time, to allow myself a smile. I can only hope that we will meld again some one day soon… for the beaches lack shells now, and the gulls will soon fly… and I miss her so. ~*~ Dedicated to a most Gentle Spirit who understands the missing of a muse... |

Karilea She was here...she gave me her own handwritten words...and then left me to write my own. She is with you...just giving you time to assimilate....that's just what mine does, and it drives me crazy. Just look what beauty you can write without her, anyway!  |

The cries of longing are the loudest when they are the softest. Beautiful expression. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

OH I FOUND IT!! RIGHT THERE IN YOUR PEN.... silly silly sun...as if your muse would ever leave you.... read your own words...proof positive.. she hasnt gone anywhere without you..... ........ ........ ........ ........ (think about it)  Ink runs from the corners of my mouth. There is no happiness like mine ... I've been eating poetry. Mark Strand |
