  4. I was reading about Yeats just yesterday. :) My lord, he was handsome. Thoughtful and intelligent. Where are the Yeats now?

    Maybe David Whyte.

  5. Great quote and wise words. It is strange how we can be together, but feel alone.

  6. I came back to re-read your poem. I recall being the loneliest ever while inside a marriage. Having someone there doesn't automatically create a sense of union. It's nice to have another Being present in one's life, though, and I do miss it. I think. :) Thank you for sharing your thoughts through your poetry.
