timmy's poetry - 78. Chapter 78

If you put down your pen, we all suffer a devastating loss. 

Rejoice that your pen is mute.. how could I 

You leave our reactions to ourselves here, too

You usually do

Did?

Your poems have got darker of late

I know you are far away, I wonder how you are, galaxies away.

I would you shone bright with life, points of brilliant light at a far horizon.

Loving in your self-made universe.

Mac is absolutely right. 

I feel like @mayday: I could not rejoice at your mute pen. I would grieve instead. Your poetry is a blessing to me. Number two is especially resonant to my mind; the metaphor is perfect.

Rejoice that my pen

Is finally

mute.

 

I have no words for this.

Sometimes we need a break for ourselves. That’s ok, but don’t stop completely tim. Your words paint wonderful pictures, sing beautiful songs.

Take time to breathe if you need it but silence is not always golden.

While I trust that you need to do what is best for you, tim, I selfishly hope that your poetry will only be gone a while. It is a beautiful gift you share. 

The poems aren’t happy ones, but they are wonderfully expressed as always. xo

There are no ‘ patient eyes ‘ where your poetry is concerned , but eyes that brimmed , glistened and sparkled as they absorbed your verse . Your recumbent pen will create a deafening and desolate silence.

i appreciate all of you and what you say.  but, well, i feel there is nothing more to say, at least not right now.  i've been having a lot of trouble writing lately ... and where i used to see my poems.. see poetry in the world around me I don't anymore.  it's a huge loss to me and it's made me profoundly sad.  

i felt much pressure to write, i'm sure it's all my doing, but i have 188 chapters of poems on GA ... i feel like i'm repeating myself and people just aren't interested any more.  but that you are.. well i love you all for that.. thank you xoxo

I'm saddened to hear this, but I understand. We'll still be here, ready to read your words, when you feel like writing again. Until then, my friend, I can re-read your works you already have posted.

This makes me sad. As I said in Lessons, never say never. Your poetry will come back to you, we will wait patiently for that strong clear voice to return. xo
