(A message to a blogging friend I haven’t seen around much. – Owen)
When I don’t see you posting, then I fear
The voices that I know you sometimes hear
Are back again, to drive you to despair;
But I want you to know, that I am there
I’ve known the world’s fell ways, I’ve felt it’s weight,
And nothing, recently, is going great,
I don’t know who I am, or where I’m at –
But then, I’m sure, you can relate to that
I hope, my missing friend, that you’re okay.
I want to hear what you might have to say;
I need to see your handiwork displayed —
When I don’t see you posting, I’m afraid
Very nice, for so many reasons…
You are not wrong, my friend. Stay with us.
Yes you may.
This is such a kind and loving poem. I relate to it from both sides of this dilemma. You’re a good friend.
Your poem is deeply empathetic, very moving, very kind. I’m enjoying your blog. Just discovered it. Happy to have done so.
I’m glad you’re here. – Owen
