Absent Muse

I go to our usual spot by the fountain.

I drink my coffee and draft my daily to do list.

Pen and favorite journal in hand I wait for you.

Many morning have passed without you, yet still I come and wait.

We are old friends who have weathered each other’s absences many times over the years and

I know one morning you will return as if no time has passed and we will pick up where we left off.

For now I will enjoy the quiet stillness and day-dream of meetings past.

Who am I? I am a good girl and a wild child all rolled into one. I am a little bit of everyone whose life has touched mine. I have held and hold many roles and titles. I am educated by both life and by halls of advanced education. I am a dreamer of far-flung dreams and a practical person with a firm grasp on reality. I am a human with an abundance of love, curiosity, and hunger.  Above all else I am a helper of my fellow humans who hopes when she leaves this world it is a little better for her having been in it.
