    lingering



    what have we done with love?
    what have we done to ourselves,
    to each other.

    the questions come up in the morning
    accompanied by the sun.

    coffee quivers as the spoon stirs.

    and it's quiet.

    what have we done with love,
    I wonder.

    what have we done with ourselves,
    I can't t
    ell.

    ...this speaks a deep awareness of the empty satisfaction we succumb to in world bent on quick fixes and lost touch with souls. Great job..Thank you.

    "coffee quivers as the spoon stirs" Very nice. Your economy is superb. I love how you don't day so much...but everything.

    I like this one! short, but like a dagger, getting right where it should get to... thank you for posting, and your comments.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
