Sorry That I've Been Gone So Long

Sorry that I've been gone so long
I have really missed PASSIONS so
I'm sorry that I had put you down
But I really had to go.

I'm sorry about not dropping in
To jot down a few complimentary lines
It's just been so hard for me
To find enough free time.

I started a new job
This is the reason that I haven't been around
I've just been trying to hard
To get my feet firmly on the ground.

Now that I'm sorta grounded
Turning over a new page in my life
I looking forward to flipping through the pages of PASSIONS
Reading and filling my soul with delight.

So all you great, passionate poets write on
Enable all our souls to grow
Let your muse's take you away
Let the ink from your pens flow.

Garfield, welcome back. I, too, have been away until very recently. Your sentiments are so nicely expressed in your poem. Thanks for it.

Oh, you are so blessed. To land a new job and become more grounded. It gives me hope. Please don't tell me how young you are for it might daunt my confidence again. I so need this to happen in my life. Well, I have to say, I am grounded in the Lord, but I need the temporal stability of a full time job...and the fringe benefits.

Thanks for your response. I'm back b/c I
missed PASSIONS, all the great poets, and
all the fascinating writes penned here. I
look forward to reading some of your
writes real soon. By the way, I love
your pen name.

Meadowmuse
Thanks for your response. During your
short sabbatical, you missed PASSIONS
too huh. It's hard not to miss these
wonderful people.

inot2B
Thanks for your response. And yes, I'm back
Your right, LngJhn & Balladeer were killing
me, but it was only b/c I was dying from
laughing. By the way, I a real Deer fan.

VAS
Thanks for your response. I'm not as
young as you think. I'm sure that you
will obtain a 9 to 5 sooner than you think.
By the way, I am trying to become more
grounded spiritually as you already are.

Marge
Thanks for your response. I can't believe
you missed me. That's so nice to hear.
Thanks for the hugs also. I needed them.

vandana
Thanks for your response. I'm glad you
thought this was a nice write.

Kaile
Thanks for your response. I've read some of your
work already if I'm not mistaken in one of the
old forums. It was excellent. If you want to,
you can research some of my writes in Open Poetry
9 & 10. I think I had some really nice writes
there.
