I just know where you are coming from with this on Bunny.
Some of my friends from way back haven't sent a Christmas card this time although they have my new address and i am frightened to ring their number in case it is bad news or no answer .... :(

They certainly are Bunny ... can't post anything at the moment as the captcha thing isnt working:(
It's hard to let people go, and it's weird how easily they leave and how life keeps going on despite that. Great writing! Definitely resonated with me. I'm back on this site after so long, and I really really liked reading this!♡

Hi Moon:) nice to see you! Thank you so much I rarely write free verse but this one just came out on.. read moreHi Moon:) nice to see you! Thank you so much I rarely write free verse but this one just came out one morning:)
The kind of silence you are talking about, that's very sad. But sometimes silence is very contagious, you know. Even sometimes I prefer to be mum even with myself.... But looking back at your contacts and getting no response from them is really painful. I hope you are doing just fine..
So many of my friends have disappeared from my life over time. I always think though that people are only meant for specific times in your life. And they serve a wonderful purpose in the moments you have with them. And then you grow and go separate ways, never to speak again but always to hold fond memories in your heart for them.
memories of happier days. Its hard to let go of the ones who made them with us. I too know this from life long friends i seldom hear from. Personally I rekindled a few and nurtured them back to health May you do the same.
Heavy sigh...yeah, me too. Not sure that there is anything to do about it but embrace the contacts we have left. Sad and true, great writing BB.

This made me think of both a literal and a more spiritual sense of loss. Like seeing ourselves slip away, in a sense, as the connections we have cultivated over time slip through our fingers. It’s funny, with the prevalence of cellphones and the internet and all those mean for instant connection, I feel I have become more distant from my long-term contacts rather than closer. I’m not sure if that’s just me, but it does seem easy as time passes to get so caught up in the pace and exuberance of the digital world and lose connections in the real one.
I recall another poem you wrote about epitaphs. I can’t remember the name now, but this did make me think of how we might be remembered and if that is as important as how we remember ourselves. Not sure if that makes sense, but I’ll leave it for you to ponder. Hope you are well, BB. Nice to read your poetry.

Oh yeah, hi Eilis LOL I'm still here just not every day:)
As I read your words here, dear Bunny, I was reminded of what my mother always says..."There are more dead than alive now." Most of her friends, cousins and family have passed and she finds the world strange and herself so lonely. Your words are so sad and yet so beautiful. We grieve for others and then some day others will grieve for us and thus goes on this cycle of pain and grief. The earthly season is so truly brief. Loved this poem absolutely!
"I know I’m closer to god
Because so many of my phone contacts
Are gone now"
I was just thinking about this very thing dear Robert. Scary when one's place in the queue seems to be gaining. Haven't heard, afraid to call, don't want to count. I don't have a land line in Florida and it was kind of hard letting go of the 'security' of one. Covid is teaching us to let go..every day...and we are not ready for it. Your lines -and brevity- exactly mimic the profundity of these thoughts when they come. They take one's breath away. Tears well up in the pauses between lines. Your poignant and touching poem reached deep inside my heart. Serendipity I guess. Stay well my friend and no matter the connection used-stay in touch!!:))
dearest Robert... there are "People whisperers...
perhaps there are Ghost whisperers. gently, Pat
