Crumpled Thoughts

Listen to poem:

so many lines i’ve written in the middle of the night only to toss them inadequate simply not measuring up to the depths of my feelings their dull reflections lost in the yearning of my love for you seeking those perfect words worthy of wings taking flight to find their way across the sky where you now sleep AP: Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted on January 9, 2021 for contest CRUMPLED THOUGHTS sponsored by JOHN LAWLESS - RANKED 7TH

Am not following a contest, but the piece by itself touches and resonates to feelings of loss to anyone who has experienced it. Best

I am touched by this heartfelt poem, Line. I could tell straight away who you were referring to. Loss leaves such a void, and words are not enough to express what we truly feel. ~ Best regards // paul

This is so amazing, Line. You had such a special connection with your husband. For me, anyway, this is whom you seem to be reaching out to.(I had felt that way trying to honor my brother Dale even though he had died in the '80's and I did not start writing poetry till 2000. At last I finally came up with some tributes for him in the past decade that I felt were worthy) This is a very worthy poem. A FAVE

So touched by your thoughts here. We often feel that words are inadequate, yet it is the trying anyway that speaks of our humanity. That humanity is what reaches the soul of another. You are doing this beautifully, Line. Hugs ~ John
