SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE
BY E. Dewayne Miller
Since you’ve been gone: I’ve had lots of freedom!
Since you’ve been gone: I’ve been taking some time
To focus on MY needs and how I can meet ‘em.
And find a new reason to get on with my rhyme!
I’m writing new poems, and reciting them too!
Believe it, or not, I’ve attempted Haiku!
New Faces! New places! New Food and New Drink!
When I hustle my bustle – there’s – less – time – to – think….
But….
Since you’ve been gone: MY journey continues.
Since you’ve been gone: I’m augmenting my song.
Reprising! Revising! Reflecting! Realizing!
I’m making new memories: Since you’ve been gone!
