All Things Ralph
Longing...
Longing
I attempted to fill my days
With friends and food
And light and work
But I lingered in my mind.
I fought to forget
Willed myself positive
Fresh, anew, focused
And yet languid time
Dragged and pulled me down.
While you flashed
With happiness and glee
I stayed quiet
Alone, but not so lonely.
The end of this
Imposed solitude
Is coming,
And I yearn for
The wave of warmth
Your smile will bring.
If the mere thought
of you brings me joy
God bless me
With your return.
And I will be
Once again alive.

Hello fiennesite,
How are you? Thank you for posting the poem Longing. It is so beautiful I made a copy of it.
Really that's how it feels sometimes, especially in winter.
I hope you will go to my new site; work is what keeps me happy these days-- though not entirely of course. Still, it is a very positive way to connect with and assist others.

Till again, Sandra
