Where Have I Gone?
Cicadas September song
One August morning
I sit
and try to make sense of it
Cicadas’ September song
Where have you gone?
For now, I want to be
and find that part of me
Maybe I’ll travel
back in time
not far from my mind
The ache
past mistakes
this yard
a time so far
Struggling to be seen
now behind the screens
longing to explore
I can’t do that anymore
It’s not fair
fighting despair
stealing my pride
and I want to hide
Appearing fit
I can’t accept it
So, I cry
into another sunrise
Miles to explore
so much to implore
For now, my paper and pen
will guide me
to all of those places I long to be.




I know I say it a lot but seriously!! Thank you so much for writing!
You make me remember when I was a poet….
