I'm Back (and a Poem)

Greetings, everyone!

I'm back from my hiatus.  Did you miss me?

I'm starting my return with a poem I wrote a few years ago.  I thought it would be appropriate, in a way.  I will probably not be as active on here as I should be, but the posts should keep coming, at least.

I hope you all did amazing things while I was gone.  I hope you all saw wondrous sights. And I'm glad to be among you again.

Closing Time

Before he flips off the lights
Quick motion of switch
He moves along the polished floor
Invisible rhythm driving his feet
Spinning around with outstretched arms
Held in the form of a dancer

A specter in his arms
Cool breeze beneath his hands
Memory against his body
Pain within his heart

He moves along the polished floor
Where their feet had worn paths
Near certain spots
Her laughter filled up the rest

Before he flips off the lights
Quick motion of switch
He finds her again

  2. Thank you!

    It's... complicated. My journey has helped me find answers, but also shown me another road I must take.

  3. Such a beautiful poem! And yes, I did miss you. Relatively few of the blogs I follow have been updating recently.
