Jeanne Mcgee Poet Free verse

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

Aditi Mishra June 17, 2020 at 6:20 AM I miss my parents and my brother but since I am a part of the essential services and I live in the most affected city of my country in this pandemic, I just cannot go and visit them. I just hold onto my husband and a little creativity praying that this passes by soon. Prayers and love to you Jeanne :)

Connie Marcum Wong June 15, 2020 at 6:02 PM A wonderful reflection of the emotions brought on by this pandemic. I can truly relate to your words Jeanne. I am missing family very much. I have a new granddaughter who is now three months. Had it not been for this pandemic I would have flown across the sea to hold her in my arms. She will be my last grandchild and I am missing out on her infancy. xxoo Jeanne Mcgee June 15, 2020 at 9:09 PM Connie, I sure hope this pandemic lessons soon...you will still have many years to get to know your granddaughter...but the first few months are so innocent and precious...it's just not the same to not be able to touch and cuddle! I'm so sorry you've had to miss out on her beginnings.
