Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
Always, the Words
Though others may think I’m antisocial
Because I enjoy being alone
Spending long days writing until my fingers ache
Searching for answers to questions
Others never think to ask
While dead heading a fading rose in the garden
And watching lizards play among the stones
You and you alone know the depth of my soul
And you alone, know always
The words are what make me whole

I LOVE this, especially “the words make me whole”. I too am a solitary creature, so this time is only a bit more solitary than usual. I do miss walks though, and the beach. I love the poem, Linda – I can SEE you lopping the head off that rose!

Sure Linda, that’s the way writers and their words become. It is a coming out of what was inborn. To some extent that’s the way my blogs and I have become since I retired.
Very pleasant to read.
