Forgotten

Forgotten Wordless woes Silenced a voice You no longer hear Forgotten You thrive Old school survive Grit and grind Your 9 to 5 bind Emotionally alive You thrive Silence Muse on mute My daily commute To forgotten lines And yesterday's rhymes In silence Why? What was my crime? What stole your time? What was more sublime Than my invisible ink Did you stop to think Promises are meant to prevail Over pain Forgotten I remain... So... utterly... forgotten

How are you dear Lady? Losing my dear husband hit me hard and I haven’t been around for nine months. I have missed so much here. You will never be forgotten sweet Eileen. I can relate to your words. Have a great day. Hugs and Blessings, Connie xxoo

It's been a couple of rough months, JT. Thanks for the visit. I have not been writing too much. Maybe I will post something today. Hugs

It looks like you and I have been in the same boat, more-or-less: "muse on mute". You do have one thing wrong though ... you are not forgotten. Whether here, or taking a break, your presence still lingers in the words you've left behind. Nice to be reading from you again (I hope not all that ink is invisible).

Hi, dear. So good of you to visit and post such a lovely comment. I've been struggling of late. It just seems there's no place for poetry. I'll try to post something today if I can. Hope all is well with you.

Yes I am well, a bit sad that I can’t hold my grandson. But we are thankful he and mom are healthy. Hugs Rick.

Thanks, Gordon. Kind of you to visit. I keep trying to get back into the game here, but I find it so difficult to do. Hope all is well with you.

How can one forget, with words past and present of such meaning, so profound your poetry dear Lady, 'We are family' here on soup, where one's journey is but a circle that leads one back.

Always good to have a visit from you, Harry. I'll try to come back little by little. I've missed the community spirit. Thanks for being a part of it. Hugs

Where have you been, Eileen? I haven't seen you for a while. Glad to have read this nice write of yours.

Hi, Robert. Thanks for the visit. I've had a lot on my plate lately. The situation in Lebanon seems to be going from bad to worse. We don't have a government at the moment. There's an economic crisis. I've lost a dear friend to Covid. Just seems a bit too much to handle. I'll try to get back into the game here. Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you, dear one. I've been a bit silent even on FB... somehow I seem lost for words... meaningful ones. Thank you for always being kind and gracious to me. Hugs

I don't know you well, but l'm looking forward to reading more of your poems. Such a beautiful write, Eileen:-) Loved it. Welcome back!

Thank you, Edward. I've read a blog or two of yours, but I've been reticent to comment. I have a lot going on at the moment. Hopefully I'll be able to get back into the game. Thank you for the warm welcome.

You are very hard (or near to impossible) to forget my dear friend. I am sure there are many who have been wondering about your rather long hiatus, and yet they wait in silence for your return. Welcome back Eileen <3 hugs // paul

Hello, dear collaborator. You know a bit of my struggles. I'm trying to get back into the game here, but... it's hard to jump back in. Unfortunately, I feel that here... if you don't have a write... you don't have a voice. It's not like the good old days. Maybe that's my perception. Dear ones like you are always in my heart.. whether I'm silent or not. Happy Easter. Wish I were again in Malta.

Hi, dear. It's been hard times for me. I lost a dear friend to covid and its taken time to deal with that. My work load is heavy and I haven't been around here much. I'll try to write some more. Those were the good old days, weren't they... hugs

A wonderful if sad soliloquy. Times when everyone seems to forget us. But we must be strong.
