Emptiness Wondering as I sit viewing myself how much my face has changed in the last year. How the smiles that used to turn up at the corners of my lips have inverted to frowns, more often than not or even become a non-smile, a non-frown if there is such a thing... and how I hate that look of the deadened eyes that stare back now empty of tears. Sometimes I don't recognize myself as I try to welcome this face into my life, trying to make her feel warm and wanted again. Speaking silently with my eyes I almost plead for her friendship, to help fill my emptiness... but even she denies me. And so another sun has risen, another day begun, bringing with it hope. But as each afternoon and evening arrives, that face rarely changes and silently I carry on as if tomorrow might be the day... M 9*2k |

So sad... utterly despondent...very well written, it just aches. Have a hug from K  K"He looked across the silky surface of the Severn... it was a famously difficult river with fierce tides..." From Jack Maggs |

Maureen you have a perfect way of writing your feelings. What amazes me is the power you have to move me. Truly a poem with feelings. Take care, thought kisses and warm hugs to you.  |

Julie..this isn't an age thing...it's a change in life thing...a need to take notice and gather strength and move on...the hardest thing I will ever have to do in my life other than see the passing of loved ones. Age is just a state of being and inside I will always be the young girl who enjoyed life and smiled at everyone...I want to make the outside that way again and that will be a hard road to travel at this moment...in time ~~soft hugs Maureen |

Maureen ~ I know exactly how you feel, and I know for me there is only way to get that smile back, and that is when someone very special and very drer to me, smiles at me. SB“The union of the mathematician with the poet, fervor with measure, passion with correctness, this surely is the ideal” |

you're traveling a very rough road right now - and you really need to lov yourself more than ever - good friends you have in abundance - believe it! and the special one will be more acceptable when you're stading alone and self-confident -(been there) ~No man is free who is not master of himself...

Maureen, Very strong emotions you have captured in this piece. Great writing. I am sure that some day soon, your day will come. Hang in there! Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Severn and Serenity...I am sure things will get better although I do believe they will get just a bit worse first...but taking time to sort everything here does make it easier on the heart thank you both for the hugs Marsha...thought kisses and hugs are always welcome... thank you all for your kind words ~~smiles Maureen |
