Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Unless of Course

the timing's always wrong
so i press the mute button
and keep the silence to myself
believing nobody's interested
convinced nobody cares

what's deep within the well
will stay there for eternity
unless of course... i write my poetry
and cast it to the winds

Very true, Line. Very deep is that well & deeper still the underneath spring that feeds it…and so often painfully a poem cries to rise on up to share its voice to more than the sky — to us Thank you for this poen about the poet’s longing to share. A courageous, confessional pen speaking for us all. Hugs

Dear Line, I adore the melancholy beauty of your enchanted musings.. I am so glad you decided “to cast it to the winds”. Such a poignant last line to an wonderfully expressive piece. Your gifted pen moves me deeply. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
