Thinking of You

Thinking of you is pretty, hopeful, 
It is like listening to the most beautiful song 
From the most beautiful voice on earth... 
But hope is not enough for me any more, 
I don't want to listen to songs any more, 
I want to sing.

*Nazim Hikmet

"I don't want to listen to songs any more, I want to sing..." I know the feeling Samantha: the torture of endless thinking which never matures into endless singing. Elegant lines! Welcome to the community! I look forward to a steady flow of poems from you.
