TIME TO THINK:
I've been off for a few days,
Have to have time to think.
Where I'm going in my life,
I hardly sleep a wink.
These past seven months believe me,
Have been hell on earth.
Some days all seem to go swimingly,
Other's are not much worth.
I must think about a few things,
Whether to carry on with my blog.
Some times in particular.
It is an endless slog.
So forgive me if I'm away,
For a few more days at least.
Again I need time to think things through,
And not give in to "The Beast"
"The Beast" being the heartache,
That losing a loved one so dear.
Should I return to blogging.
I need a head that is clear.

Hope you don't give it up, but you do need to get with some people in real life.
ReplyDeleteThank you Alex for your wise advice......but I'm not living a real life just now.

hopefully the blog is an outlet - your poems hit a nerve for all and it's a part of community. So if you leave blog world, then what? At least post once a week or twice....just to stay in touch. Take care!
ReplyDeleteThank you Joanne wise and kind words.

Take your break. I do hope you'll come back, Yvonne. I don't think it'll make you feel better in the long haul to stop. I wanted to quit at some point in my own grief but am glad I didn't.
ReplyDeleteIt's not only the grief but family issues also and at my age feel out of my depth Natalie.

Yvonne, I know you'll be missed if you decide not to blog or not to blog for a bit but I know you need the time to make your decision on what you will do. Take all the time you need; I always say blogs are there waiting when we get back to them. Do take care of yourself.

I'll miss your lovely poetry, Yvonne, but understand. My prayers will be with you and what ever decision you make, you'll always be my friend.
ReplyDeleteYou are a true friend Beverly and thank you for a lovely comment. Life has not been easy but I guess everyone has their ups and downs but it's how we deal with it that's the problem.
