has it been so long since i heard you?
stilled outside noises and inside voices
to listen to your spirit whispers?
i need to walk the fields again
feel your touch on my skin,
your presence inside
and outside my soul.
people say
too many irons in the fire.
i don’t remember building one
yet there it blazes
so now, i look for you,
listen for you,
to peck at my window,
beckoning me,
come out, girl. come out.
that’s what i say girl–come out. sometimes life can suck it right out of you before you ever know it.
love this–perfect for this day!
Wow! And a triple Wow! Lovely poem!
Scot,
Thank you so much. You are so right about how life can suck it out of you before you know it.
Sumedh,
Thank for your words!

Scot,
I can’t get my computer to let me listen to it. But I would love to give it a try.
