A Solitary Journey

Who
sorts out
the poet
giving a voice
to your unuttered
despair left in the wake?
I cannot run to you now.
We survived the end of our world,
unfortunately not each other.
Paths once united, just dust from our past.

    I’m depositing these in my word bank as a gem of inspiration and hoping for a blossom someday soon!!! Your ending really playing rough and hard on my heartstrings!!! Please consider this a candidate for the “Best of Susi” book!!
    Loved the photo too – really captured the feel – walking away in the wind!! Stunning!!
    Bellissimo, Susi, simply Bellissimo!!
    I told you that you had a gem and just as I was getting ready to hit post comment I read your last three lines again and Wham! I got something. I guess this is what the good part of fishing feels like. I will send you a copy on email. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! Here is my definition of a good/great poet – “A good poet’s words reach out and touch the heart of the reader and make them glad they read the poem”!! Five stars for You, Susi!! 💖💖💖💋💋🌹😃

      1. Ha! Don’t blush, My Dear!! Bask in the praise and glory of how your words reached out and touched my heart!!! I can only tell you it is magic when someone’s words inspire your heart and soul and plant a seed of inspiration that blossoms into a poem. You are now one of my “Inspirators”!! It is really super when what you wrote does this to someone. I have had it happen a few times and there is nothing quite like it!! So happy to have this happen to you, Dear Susi!!
        🌹😁😘💖
