The Rumination Of


I wonder if my voice is disturbing
even though the intent or sound of
feels hopeful on the inside.

We women, ruminate,
so an expert says, ponderings
filling the space that the mind
should be using/saving
for energetic endeavors.

Try as I do, the thoughts
always turn towards you
and I muse...
the day away.

That vast chasm of hurt is always bridged by memories regardless how painful sometimes.


Good write!

In browsing your ruminations I'd take issue with that authority. Men ruminate too.


Food for thought.
1. browse, browsing -- (reading superficially or at random)
2. browse, browsing -- (the act of feeding by continual nibbling)

1. ruminate -- (chew the cuds; "cows ruminate")
2. chew over, think over, meditate, ponder, excogitate, contemplate, muse, reflect, mull, mull over, ruminate, speculate --


Latin
ruminatio -onis f. [chewing the cud; ruminating].

rumino -are [to chew the cud , ruminate].


Something to chew on, sink our teeth into.

Enjoyed

It Will Not Change


It will not change now
After so many years;
Life has not broken it
With parting or tears;
Death will not alter it,
It will live on
In all my songs for you
When I am gone.

Missing you, ATOV...send an email  when you get a chance. Hope all is well.

Thank you ~Dreamchild~ for taking the time and understanding.

Dixie and Ethome,  I always enjoy your stopping by, thank you.

Karen, so good to see you here. Wishing you a very happy holiday season.

Huan, you must have a vast amount of poetry knowledge, or a memory that is so deep...I enjoy reading your poetic responses. Thank you.

Maureen
