silence from the loud
empty shadows dance
light fades slowly
the presence still remains
missing begins at goodbye
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.

The depths you feel come from a life of openness. This short poem says more than an essay could say.
ReplyDeleteVery poignant. It is short but the intensity of feelings is conveyed. I like it.
ReplyDeleteThis is very powerful.. maybe more so because of how condensed it is.. a bit like a dance lasts only a few measures of song but can impact a lifelong. Well done..well done
