still no sub jobs

silence from publisher

I wonder why

still viewing the bright moon

enthralled by the mountains

still worried about something

trying to put it out of my mind

still playing Springsteen

Getting inside his spirit

Born to Run

You write like me short and simple but with a lot of meaning. I like this because it talks about things we do and think about.

I like the ringing of "still"! For whom the bell tolls...

Patrick, you’re not alone with this one, so many of us are “still” waiting for something….
Keep the faith.

The beauty of this poem is that despite the things that are troubling you - you continue to look up. You view the bright moon and allow the mountains to enthrall you. The strength of these words is palpable. R
