Missing and Knowing

Missing
Your hand in mine
My weary heart has swept
The wishes into dreams that kept
You here

Knowing
Fate can’t deny
What two souls take and bind
On the other side, I will find
You there

Beautiful Cinquain, Rob. Deep emotions of longing...the missing and the knowing. So much conveyed in so few words. Best wishes for the contest...and for the New Year. Sandra

I much prefer this traditional style to modern. This is one time when traditional cannot be beat and yours is one of the best I have seen for this contest. Love it!!

Rob I love your Cinquain. It flows very nicely and speaks loud and clear. I better take another look at mine. That is what I love about being here. Other poets like yourself inspire me to do better. I hope you have had a great holiday so far. Merry Christmas.
