Abandoned by life
choked by overgrowth of unkempt green
once upon a time
breathing, seething with energy
steaming with the hot breath of cattle
teaming with the tenuous tenure of life
*
Your body long gone
your loving heart now ashes
your caring now a memory
which nothing can erase
and time cannot erode.
*
How I long for thee
though a mere thin veil
separates your spirit from me
small comfort
when I miss thee mightily.

You know I wonder about that some times–why I bother being so responsive; doesn’t seem to be the norm. So–are you havin’ a rough summer? No need for details, I’ll just be lifting you up in BIG prayers–bless you with same.

So in answer to your question about this summer– been tough. My husband having problems with his job and I hope not serious problems with his health. And other stuff.
How is the summer treating YOU??? I am sorry if I have not been as responsive. Will try harder. Have added you to my prayer list.
Thank you for your responsiveness and blessings.

Please know that my words were not meant to complain, or solicit responses–I guess I’m just weird, that I tend to be more interactive than many bloggers I’ve “met”. And it does cost me sometimes. I’m keeping you and your husband close in my heart and prayers, and I thank you for your prayers–summer has been too loud and full of turmoiled unrest here. Seasons–they come and go, don’t they. Bless you.

You’re not “weird”– just more giving. I try but find it hard to address all I read on WP. It eats up lots of time as I am following a lot of people–so many I have not even updated the list on my blog. Sometimes I think I have over-reached.

It’s true that blogging can become a full-time job, and devour your day fast; easy to over-reach. People do drop off after awhile–most people don’t blog daily, particularly if they have “real” lives to attend to.

Second try at sending this comment. You are one of the top responsive writers and poets. I am sorry if I haven’t been to you– will try harder to keep up. Didn’t even blog for a long time. A tough summer. Just hoping my husband will be okay. Hopefully nothing serious. Lots of stuff going on. How is YOUR summer going? I am going to add YOU to my prayer list right now. Thanks for all, especially the blessings! You have a grand heart.
