For my very first post, I chose a poem I wrote last week that is close to my heart, entitled “Once.”
Once
Never the one you think
Never the one that should.
Never the right time
Or enough time.
Never again the sweet lull
of the day-to-day.
No more easy solace
Or just passing time.
No more the open-ended chat
The breezy how are you
The unburdened goodbye.
Never again
The unbridled laughter
The unfettered innocence
The making sense.
Never again the sweet lull
of the day-to-day.
A sequence of my poems has been published in a hardcover book entitled The Music of Leaving Poems by Tricia McCallum
