She's Gone

My muse deserted me- went far away and left me sad and feeling quite alone. Without her, I'm at loss for what to say- my mind is blank- heart, heavy as a stone. She filled my wishes for so many years and never failed to format thoughts to words by imaging my feelings- smiles or tears- to steer their pathways like obliging herds. She's gone- no certain date of her return. I pack my days with useful things to do; and though my spirit's low with glum concern, these other matters need attention too. Perhaps she's offered me this extra time- to dwell on life- outside of verse and rhyme. Sandra M. Haight

Thank you so much, Constance- nice to be missed. My muse woke up a bit aroused by the theme of your current contest! Hugs, Sandra

Dear Sandra, I feel you frustration, but Greg is right it will come back in full bloom and like you said other things are priority... Hug sweet lady

You haven't lost her, she's just on a different clock, with a whim and wit all her own ... let her know you love her and respect her need for quiet time, and she'll be back, refreshed and dancing in the sweet, sunny meadow of your mind, and the quiet corners of your day! Love you, Friend. <3

I was very concerned over your absence and glad to hear you are ok. Judging from this poem, your muse is fine too. Love and hugs, Janis.

Hello Sandra How lovely to hear from your pen again and to know that you are well. I, like many I'm sure, noticed your absence and hoped to see your poetry reappear. You alone truly know your feelings but as I read this, your previous great quality of rhythm, rhyme and smooth flow suggest that she is certainly not very far away! Your final couplet is also an important concept though. All the best Wendy

Thank you for your visit and uplifting comments, Wendy. I appreciate them so much. My final couplet is ruling me at present- but, we'll see. All the best to you too. Sandra

Thank you for your visit and uplifting comment, Jan. It took a while to even create this poem. I've been away from writing for over a month and wanted to say that I'm alive and somewhat well, but my muse went missing! This happened once before and it took nearly ten years for her to return! :( Hugs, Sandra
