I reached for it all
But was denied
I pleaded to the stars
No one replied
I asked the sun
But felt like there was no one
Then I listened and heard
Not sure what it was
A whisper and sigh
Caressed to draw nigh
So I slid from the altar
And begged for some more
Then again as before
I was ignored
So now I listen
And some days I hear
But most days there is nothing
So ponder I must
Ponder I will
Wonder about it all
Ignoring what I don’t hear

Thanks Chris and Noah - appreciate your kind words - just wonder if some of us just don't hear or maybe there just isn't a communique for us...Paul

Hi Paul

I wrote a poem once called, Listening to Myself...doing that helps me stay centered.  Hey!  Congratulations on that 2000, Mr Elite!

try again and again...and you will hear a little more every time....hugs
a very soft write, filling the reader with a presumption that the poet is in genuine appreciation.
