What Is Missing
I am feeling emotions cast down
Hovering about my head
Enveloping me
With the longing to belong
To be with people who have similar vows of
Passion
Someone to talk with in shared ideals
The haunts of unasked questions
Exchange thoughts we are both interested in
At least I have my online poet friends
Stimulating poems that surprise
Yearning to evoke images in words as do
Photographers I know in the cyberworld
Expressive ideas of life lived somewhere
But I do miss the sounds of
Spoken words
That inspire me to greater joy
Someone teaching me new forms endeavored
Of things I do not yet know, I want
Companionship
So central to artistic expression built
In layers of time spent
Of understanding only felt by those
Similar of thoughts circled
A friend a mentor
Arms wrapped about shoulders
Burdens lifted
