In Her Absence, She Is Missed |

When she is not near there comes this feeling hard to describe, caught somewhere between sad and lonely. Tis not so much an aching but more as though a void felt deep within the core of me. Her departure leaves my soul amiss, the warmth and comfort she provides; no longer present. Even on the brightest of days there is a certain lack of luster that lingers and a longing to once again hear her voice. Knowing that she will again someday return brings forth faint smile, and a pondering of how long.... How long will it be until my muse once again returns home to me? In her absence, she is missed. The greatest beauty on earth, is found in the hearts of those who love.... |

dear donna, know exactly what you mean, adding...its nice to find muse in all things...there was a moment, upon specifically finding that...after a loss...a great one...and the ocean sang her songs to me...she was the first, then came others, until slowly but most certainly, nature showers her all..... Lovely write missy...loved this much |

Morning Donna... Does not appear your muse is missing in this beautiful write. Lovely lovely plea for her to come home. And I do believe it worked! Hugs~Nancy ~ Let peace begin with me... ~ |

I think any poet, male or female, feels a certain aching hollow when their muse has taken a haitus...I know that is how I experience the loss, and I have yet to deign myself as a true poet, but still a learning, eager, hungry trier of word...and yet? I know the ache of the absence... Excellent work here, little one... you got me with it. |

How very strange, I felt this so deeply but when you said, "muse" I stopped right there, and had to start reading it again, as I connected it to a person, and that is good poetry, as I got lost in it, and remembered a person. Oh well, I know what I am talking about that is all really that counts  LOL.Lovely Donna, and looks like she is not lost just playing with ya. |

Donna...I did the same as Sharon...thinking you were talking about a person that you lost...in a way, you were, of course...a part of you, and a special part of you, who I see you've found again.  |

Hi Donna ... it doesn't appear to me that she is missing. I loved the gentle longing that you write about in this poem. Made me wish I could find her for you. I shall look for her in my mountains. hugs, Marti A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows. –St. Francis of Assisi |

Like Mysteria, I was thinking of someone I'm missing... until the line about her returning. *S* Beautiful work, sweet lady... she obviously wasn't absent for this! *S* |

I'm not so sure your muse left? Or maybe just took a coffee break. This is a well-phrased and well-worded write. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
