Non Conveyance

That gnawing hunger
fills the mind
in an early morning
winter's chill.

Always, decisions to be made
tripping over flip flops that slide on and off
with no real connection,
nothing to grasp hold of
waiting for that next slip,
hoping not to fall...again.

A New Year, with nothing new.
Repetition, just an echo of yesterday
to remind me that my life
is just memorized material
rehashed and paraphrased.

No warmth today, at least not yet
and maybe not even tomorrow,
as flannel replaces the silks and satins
and protects the untouched.

Feelings that can't escape the unknown,
too cold for tears.
This one's for you
and as always
I am...
lost in translation.

M

Maureen, as always your thoughts are felt in my heart. My wish for you in the New Year is a new and exciting path to follow. Run ... don't walk. Hugs to you dear lady. Chris

Very nice poem, Maureen! I feel the same way. But, the year has just begun. One never knows what may come.

Maureen,
   I like your poem very much and can relate to the last verse, especially.  It seems translation of my own feelings has always  been a weak point.   I envy the grasp you have of your feelings and how you express them in writing.  May you have a better 2005.
