I've revised this poem, previously called "I see you now." I was
interrupted several times while working on it. Susan needed some things and
then needed me to work on her laptop which she has up on her bed next to her
(and next to Duffy).
That's no excuse in regard to the poem. I didn't post it until I thought it
was ready, but after I did it bothered me. I was tired. I should have
waited, but I didn't. (making excuses anyway L)
(btw, I thought Susan was on the mend but she may have overdone it the last
couple of days trying to build back her strength. I've had the sinking
feeling that I may have quit worrying about her too soon. L)
Lawrence
Running free at the river
As they did, when one
Was out of sight too long
I would yell "Ginger"
Or "Sage" as the case might be,
"I don't see you," and the one
Missing would pop out from behind
Some bush or tree.
"Okay, I see you now,"
I'd yell and on we'd go.
This morning, Sage
Kept looking back
Waiting for me to call.
She had never before
Been here alone.
I felt the urge
To yell once more.
Perhaps I might
Compel her to rise
If I but yelled.
"I don't see you."
