Where Did You Go

Oh sweet poem in my dreams how all the world did love you They knew your wisdom saw your beauty felt your inspiration They sang songs from your rhythms when they spoke of greatness your name was on their tongues They smiled…for you brought them such happiness and joy and the world was at peace But I awoke to find you had abandoned me left me alone to stare into the abyss of another hollow page

I can so relate to this, Jerry! I can’t count the number of times I had the perfect poem in the middle of the night and was too tired to get out of bed to write it down. Of course it was gone in the morning…

I know what you mean. It's really sad when you're at the restaurant and you write on the napkin. you get up to go to the bathroom and the waitress has thrown it away. Thanks for reading Ilene. Have a blessed day my friend.
