A sad poem as so many people do not listen, they may hear but they will never understand, the one at I can always do is listen. I have helped so many sort themselves out just by listening.

A fine write Andrew. The listening can be the thing - \'being there\'. You did something good!
If it wasn\'t so serious a theme - Meanwhile - you done any work in harm reduction to stop me singing? That\'s terribly harmful - to anyone! (lol).

having worked within the diverse field of mental health I was very much involved in harm reduction .. I always found that members of the general public often struggled to understand the positive risk taking that this almost always involved.... Good on ya Andrew.... Neville

Andrew - no need at all to be sorry for this well-written lament on the absence of Muse - -- applause for a write that rhymes so eloquently despite the so -called writers block. Looking forward to your poem on rain........

ANGELA & BRIAN said:
Surprisingly ANDREW your muselessness has resuited in a POEM of fine STRUCTURE ~ Five balanced Quatrains with a consistent Rhyme Pattern aaaa bbbb etc ! BUT alas the SUBJECT is lacking ! A lament on the missing muse as one would lament a Lost Love ! HOWEVER what it lacks in SUBSTANCE is more than compensated by STRUCTRE ~ so all in all an interesting and amusing POME ! However as a culinary expert (Lecturer in Food Science) I must take umbrage at the denigration of my Friend APRICOT ! If one plucks them from the TREE for instant consumtion Al fresco ~ The Peach might just have a slight edge ! BUT I (BRIAN) have had occassion in this last week to cook two *One Pot Casseroles* the first based on LAMB and the second CHICKEN. In addition to (different) appropriate vegetables etc I included DRIED APRICOTS in both Dishes to be served with boiled & buttered whole baby new potatoes (think about it). My guests (Foodies) on both occasions said how beautifully the APRICOT had ameliorated the organoleptic quality of the dish. Had I used PEACH it would have disintergrated and dissapeared witout trace ~ I rest my case !
Blessing & Peace & Muse Restoration
Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Now what was I going to say - AHHH WELLL!!!!!!!!!!!

A perfect expression of that feeling we all get from time to time, sometimes a lack of inspiration can be the inspiration itself!

It is such a beautiful poem. Thank you so much for posting it. I really enjoyed it. My favorite lines are: A waiting hand when I\'m left behind / My morning when I dream the night. So beautiful, so moving... The images are unforgettable... Thank you.
