Lately there, somewhere in a late Spring time breeze I have been passing through, you- sleepy eyes and philosophies, not touching anyone, sun shining on a blind man's face, and I haven't felt at home, a poem present in an awkward place, like the dust on moth's wings, things just don't seem the same as I pass my shadows by, sigh a wonder who'll remember my name. Sometime in the distance there is a light, a sight, an angel comforting everyone I can't, and will I forget? Yes I might. I 'look' at everything around me and wonder if I have the right. |

Dear Dixie, it's good to read your excellent poetry again! There is melancholy in this. Who will remember our name? All those who love us and no one on this Earth is unloved, even as sometimes we get this feeling. And then we are always connected to our Divine Source, where Love simply IS A CONSTANT. Love and hugs. Margherita  "Love is the One who masters all things; |

A view from Saturn's bower.. John Keats (In Hyperion) speaks to your lament: "«O aching time! O moments big as years! «All as ye pass swell out the monstrous truth, «And press it so upon our weary griefs «That unbelief has not a space to breathe." And you answer: "Sometime in the distance there is a light, a sight, an angel comforting everyone I can't, and will I forget? Yes I might. I 'look' at everything around me and wonder if I have the right." Yes, you have "the right" Love your poem. |

Aw, sometimes I think we take ourselves way too seriously, I know I do and have done most of my life. While it is good to take ourselves seriously (if not us, who?) But we like to analyze everything sometimes out of portion, especially those of us who write poetry. We are who we are. And yes, our names will be remembered, and YES! you have the right. ~ Plastic surgeons are always making mountains out of molehills. ~ |

thanks everyone Owl, I'm not really sad, but I am wishing I could get in here more to read and write...just have no motivations or inspirations yet. |
