Ellen Gwaltney Bales Poet Free verse

Is It Me

Is it me?				
Is the breeze in a closed room
Just my imagination?
Is the whisper of my name
Only a fragment of a dream?
Is that soft brush
Against my shoulder
Your gentle touch?
Show me a sign.
Remember?
We talked about this.

Quoth Theraven March 19, 2023 at 5:48 PM Hello Ellen, So glad that I rushed right over to find this poem today. Questioned whether a room is really empty when we leave(?) Perhaps not. Not while a memory takes hold and tugs us back to a moment. I enjoyed the special two in yours. -Richard

Ellen Gwaltney Bales February 27, 2023 at 1:45 PM John, it could very well be that you have "visitors," especially if you've lost someone close. I sometimes feel that my whole family and a couple of friends are with me. And boy, it's getting crowded in here!

John Gondolf February 27, 2023 at 2:22 AM I sometimes feel there is a presence in the room with me, but I’m sure it is my imagination…or is it?
