And through a haze, without a word, I march for days, my movement blurred. My life a stir in slow motion, yet still linger without notion. As if adrift, time fathoms smog, the sands I sift midst looming fog. Seek quest or coast? I'm but a ghost AP: Honorable Mention 2025 Posted on July 14, 2023

Line," My life a blur.".. says's it all. Loss of mate is losing part of self. Your poems, your voice is a sooth balm to others who have experience similar loss. Some have mates, but experience an emotion and physical loss. Their empty absence is emotional abusiveness, I like you my friend, and so sorry for your loss.

I don't feel qualified to totally understand the emotional and physical effects that a loss of a partner can have but I can fully appreciate how grief must exacerbate feelings of uncertainty and alienation. I really like your rhyme and the form you have used here Line. I don't care much for rules in poetry (Iambic Pentameter is not my friend) but it has that sonnet feel - and certainly packs a punch. Cheers - Gary
