From a place no longer there
With people who no longer are
I journey into this world
into the light
Free from the darkness
I begin to write

Writing always takes the writer (and the reader) on a journey, I think. I enjoyed your poem, Gail!
Short and powerful! You conveyed a whole story in just a couple lines.
Oh Gail, this is lovely.
This is wonderful, Gail. I love the journeying into the light.
This is so true. Through writing we can, journey back to "a place no longer there With people who no longer are". Indeed, I know of no other way to get there. Smiles.
Love the journey, glad to share writing with you.
I love how you carried us into your light with this poem-lovely!
Always a nice journey I look forward to seeing what comes of it:) Hug B
love it... waiting to see what comes from your past
Writing from a light place.. I can understand that.. yes it makes total sense
That's a fine starting point!
Thank you for your comment on my poem "Landscapers". I liked it a lot.
Now that is one amazing journey.
From the darkness into the light. Very nice.
I begin to write.... that is the key isn't it? Just begin and the poem starts to flow. Lovely poem
I like to write when nobody else is around sometimes, but I've come to terms with dealing with the racket behind the screen. Never know, sometimes a single noise or something someone does might trigger an idea.
tis an abosolute quality of poetry that you can traverse time guided by your inner light
Thanks Gail for stopping over to read mine; i enjoyed reading yours
much love
Lovely!
Write on!

I like short pieces that have a lot to say. Made me think about my own journey through writing.
Filled with emotion and meaning. Love that you can do that in so few words.
so you like it quiet... love your header
I love that, it conjours up all kinds of images.

It is so freeing, beautiful, Gail!
all those places we once had...that are no more...and once were friends...but no more...yes, i have come from there as well...smiles.
Beautiful and thought-provoking!
Yes, there has to be a start irrespective of what is there in front of us all! Good thoughts Gail!

The beginning of your poem reminded me of a woman I knew. Whenever she looked at a photo album, she pointed out those who were no longer here. I also liked how you ended your poem, Gail.
There seem to be ghost places and ghosts that show up in our poems or bless our work because we are free of them.
Wonderful Gail . . .
Thought to hand and hand to paper..isn't it fun?? You do so good! :)
May the words increase the light,
fill your heart with soothing music,
with love, with smiles, with delight...
And when the darkness does return,
let it be only for balancing the bright.
May there be love,
ever-growing laughter,
and hope that is always might. ♥
Free from darkness, I love that part ~ Write on ~

Let there be light!
Writing is great as it dispels darkness! Nicely conveyed :)
Dear Gail, I love the strength in your poem ..
...And may light always shine on your creativity!
Nicely done. I've written before about muses and writers block. Strangely they've brought me into light.
I enjoyed your work!
p.s. - I too am a farmer!
I just love this short poem.
Super short, pretty, and true!
…and I'm sure - a very deep well it is. Lovely, lovely.
shine on!
Short, yet so powerful and deep!
Lovely poem, Gail. As we choose to leave behind us those things that we no longer need or can abide, a bright new world develops and ready to explore - with the pen, why not?
