To be a poet is a condition, not a profession. — Robert Frost

~ I'm Back

Stepping back into the flow
Screw asking for directions...
The mind negotiates the winding thoughts
Deep questions and longing
Mingle with appointments and grocery lists

The eyes close
Stillness blankets me as I focus
The ebb and flow of ideas massages the anxiety...
I'm back

For 3WW: ebb, negotiate, random

:) Been away for quite awhile.

Powerful piece. I enjoyed the strength, the face-to-face with the next step.

And I'm so glad to see you're back!

Beautiful poem -- obviously your sojourn away filled you with powerful words to share!

Hugs

Any "squirmels" this Spring?

Welcome back. Sometimes, stepping away from things makes your focus sharper. And then you can come back, pick up, go on. That's what prompt sites are all about.

Bobbie,
I am trying to find a way to contact you - I like your work very much, and it is exactly the style I am looking for for my company's logo. Would you be interested doing a logo for me? I have the form and style all thought out - just need someone with photoshop skills like yours to complete the job. I have seen your stock photos - and some of them are so close to what I want that I know you are the one to talk to.
Please contact me if you can.Here is my contact form (I don't like leaving my email address on blogs): http://www.contactify.com/17bfd
