Sometimes

[CdnReader]

.

Sometimes an emptiness persists.
A creeping melancholy
An unfelt pain
An unwanted vacancy
And the question remains....

Comfort in familiarity,
in routine activity
that fills the days,
and that works....
sometimes.

For awhile, the vacuum disappears....
into a blankness that feels unfinished,
accompanied by an underlying quietness,
a searching.

And there is still a place
of nothing, no one....
that nudges me
and reminds me that I am
alone.

Cdn, I've held off judgment. I wanted to see if your poetry was consistently good or if you were hit and miss. I wanted to know if you were speaking to my heart of to someone else’s, or if you were just rambling. Well, now I have decided that you are a lovely poet very talented and I love what you have to say. Actually, I kind of think of you as “MY” poet, like you are writing just for my pleasure.

MotherHubbard, this means more to me than you can possibly imagine. What else can I say but .... I am humbled. Thank you.
