week 101 ~ talking to you across the miles
talking to you across the miles
typing to you the words in my
heart and I wonder does the sky
feel them passing or are my smiles
invisible and do the styles
of type chosen with care matter
at all to the clouds that gather
on the horizon do they know
we have gone everywhere yet no-
where and still can’t find an answer
genuine feelings is expressed in a romantic way…
beautiful!
love the image!
Thanks for sharing!

I love the questions asked in the poem…the wonderment expressed adds to the romance of the poem.

Thanks, Charles– pondering some dense questions that are scrambling my this-is-the-right-way signals a bit at the moment…

Beautiful questioning here…. I think sometimes there are no answers; but it is good to question the questions of our hearts and souls. Then soon enough, we will forget or let go of the questions… :) heartspell

Thanks for your musings on mine. We do never know really, and is this real or simply ether?

nice pondering of what those clouds may see…as we rush here and there looking for answers…some things i think we will never know, not that it will stop us from running…smiles.

Oh, I love this style of word wondering…

More confusion than romance, unfortunately… For more on decima check out my definition & a link to all my decimas in the RH column.

Nice wording. Oh the uncertainty and doubt on possesses when the object of one’s affections are distant and far away…I have been there and understand…

Hmm, interesting that so many of y’all think it’s a romantic poem. I wish. Actually I was musing on the insubstantiality of blogging and email.

Oh, I have been down this road once before and know the feelings you have posted in this piece. It helped me to revisit those memories…I became wistful.

I’m experiencing an emotional flood thick with memory after reading this! It reminds me of when my husband was in Iraq (he wasn’t even supposed to go back…and there he was!)
this is stunning…at least thats how it appears enetering my heart, psyche
Thank you for sharing

“do they know we have gone everywhere yet nowhere…”
i can relate to this verse… i think the best way to find the answers is to stop looking for them. that’s when the answers find me.
i love your poem, mairmusic.=)

Ah, it feels that all of the Universe is one with you in this poem … what you are writing winging is way across the web (not Internet) … Just lovely, Marilynn. Thank you for this.

Yes, and luckily we all move past them to somewhere, if not exactly where we aimed.
mairmusic

Woow, does this poem talks about to reach something that unreachable? I don’t know why, but I think it does (imho). However, you’ve done a great job in describing “the distance”. Nice!

What a nice idea to link the communication with the act of word processing. Good poem.

I often ask similar questions to the stars. Do they shine down indifferently or do they notice?
Sometimes they seem like they are the only things left to see us.
Beautiful poem.

I know this poem…I have felt it in my heart, yet never seen it written down so perfectly. Very well thought piece. The photo is interesting to me too…the shadow just a vague image of something real.
