Missing
Not so very long ago,
I did not know I needed you.
None of us did—
it's hard to miss someone you never knew.
Now, your absence looms large
every time you leave.

There is just something about this that hits the nail on the head. It's like the final one on a coffin lid. It truly moved me. Some presences leave such gaping holes that we somehow must integrate into our lives.

Thank you. I was thinking about editing this. Maybe I won't.
Every now and then, someone enters your life and turns things upside down, in a good way.
And I'm writing again! A tiny bit.

Dear E,
Your lovely poem has teeth, nails, and a vice grip for impact. Sheesh! It had me thinking how true this is and I’d never put it into such a fabulous perspective. Excellent write. H🌷

Even if written with a sadness prevalent within the write, it's good to see you posting!

Thank you, Gorgeous! I have been busy changing job, learning the new job, negotiating with teens... and also was just tired and all poemed out after finishing the second book. I'm back now!
