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

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 :)

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

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.
