the emptiness at my table
does not wait for Elijah
it is full of ghosts
I welcome, my nostalgia
budded and bloomed
to a full bouquet now, no longer
single long stems posed in the center
of memory we make

Susan Daniels Poetry 
How often single, burning stars are subsumed into more distant constellations…
Yes.
Oh so poignant.
Thanks. Hon.
From your woken muse? It’s lovely – full of acceptance for the memories.
Yes, that is from the muse you woke up.
I find that I experience writing, fiction, poetry–as most do, I assume–on a very personal level. I read and I become with each reading, as my mind journeys through images and metaphors and memories. I can grasp it, you know? I can identify minutely what words, what phrases, what verses have touched me and the reason they have done so. But this, Susan–this brings tears to my eyes. And I do not even know why.
nostalgia, sigh.
Yep. Thanks for commenting. Your holiday had to be a bittersweet one… Rough year for you guys.
yup..
Sending you a big virtual hug…
sending a smile back
Emptiness with the galaxy has an interesting mystery of solitude and awakening. Beautiful poem. 🙂
Say, do you have skype?
Thanks muchly–you got this. I have skype but rarely use it.
The reason I ask is because I have skype…and I just thought it be a good idea to finally talk to some of my blogger friends from the other side of the world. I hope it’s too much of an inconvenience for you?
🙂
If you have Google chat, I have that, or Facebook. The PC I do most of my blogging on is my PC I use for transcription, and is a dinosaur–which means it hates Skype. Would love to talk to you on Facebook or Google chat, though 😉
Unfortunately, I don’t have facebook anymore nor Google. I just thought it be cool to talk to someone from the other side. I think I have a google account…if it is snyched to youtube would that count as having a google account?
Yes it would 😉
I’ll try it out. How do you do it?
Poignant, Susan.
Thanks, Celestine.
Nice to find such memories… too many of my memories that lie beyond the last decade, I feel no entitlement to them.
oh, Nelle. Sending you a hug.
