Wow!

I was looking through my old poems – for nostalgia’s sake, if nothing else.

It seems amazing that it’s been almost four years since I started posting here. That I can look back through a telescope at those things that happened so long ago. It almost makes me want to write a poem. But somehow it seems that a feeling like this can’t be put very well into words.

Anyway, I think it’s great that some of my – and your – favorites are from a younger idealist me. I find that now it is a struggle to see the ever changing world as I did back then. I think it’s the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced, being able to see so much about my past self and how that past self saw the world.

Iota by iota, I have lost my life, in faith
I’ve passed this night dancing on coals
I blew away the sleep that was in my eyes
I counted the stars till my finger burned

Abby,

Very cool isn’t it. I found this site well over 5 years ago (when I was babybluebs)and while I have gone MIA for long periods of time I have found it again. It is very cool to see all of the old poems and the old faces.

Lord, Mom, Zoeybee {who wrote my favorite poem ever} Shay, Abby, BurnMe, Kira and all of the old schoolers …. so nice to see you all again {if anyone even remembers me lol}.

Where is Paulina and Wantnot (Pam)???? Someone tell them I’m back and I said hello please
