I've Been Away



I’ve Been Away
By       
Lisa A.Williams


I’ve been away for awhile, silent
holding in, waiting for the spark
to ignite the feeling slumbering in hot ash
born of an emotion I hold like a newborn
cradling its infancy, waiting to nurture its first cry.

  1. Sometimes being away for a while helps, I think.
    The spark cannot stay away for long!

  7. Ah I know this need and for me--the fear--that maybe nothing is left to say--time to renew--and just live rather than observe--

  8. I think we need to go away, silent, to write our poems. I love your "born of an emotion I hold like a newborn."
