Adrift

Audrey, I began writing a poem about a week ago with this exact title. I laid it aside after a few verses and never went back as I was torn as to how I wanted to end it. I may get it published yet but with a slightly modified title. I enjoyed your poem very much...I could sense the mood. Nice word choices. WB

There is some sense or feeling of sadness and melancholy..It's a great poem Audrey, full of meaning, as usual.

Saddness is the air today with a number of hubbers.

Good poem, voted up and beautiful, Joyce.

Thanks for sharing your gift Audrey. Nice deep excerpt

It didn't make me sad, Audrey. It reminds me of the need to pause and rethink.

See you at the finish line.

Great poem. I loved the descriptive words. voted up.

Beautiful Poetry!

This one is a fave by you. Simply Beautiful and speaks such an emotion that only you know how to tell so well. life is terrain of unknown consequence...every choice we make. I say dive in and test the waters.

Audrey....wanted to stop by to specifically coimment on your fabulous interview. Just wonderful...I enjoyed it immensely. You are quite a ROCK Star!! Peace!

The pausing and freezing reminds me of the times I numb myself from any pain and then I have to remind myself when it's ok to feel again. I dont know if this is what you meant to share here - but its what I took from it. Lovely as usual and I also loved your interview in the newsletter today!

Voted up and beautiful. Words to tug at the heartstrings and makes one wonder how to go on.

Great word choices. I have felt that way at times. Constricted, unable to move. And how long will it last? I like your photo choice, too. Goes well with it. Many votes!

Soon, Audrey! At least you know it WILL end! Sharing with friends helps! Breathe...and again...

That claustrophobic feeling, the lack of freedom resounds strongly through your words. Voting up and awesome. Have a blessed day! Peace.

"I cannot write with my heart squeezed shut."

brilliant!

I guess it all will come to a brief end in due time, LOL. Nicely written AudreyHowitt, getting voted up and shared.

I found your smooth eloquent hub here on FB thanks to the selfless sharing of PDXKaroakeguy, what a cool dude.

This is lovely, you are nothing less than a Fantastic Poet!

Hello Dear Audrey ~ As you know, I've not had the time to keep up with all the activity on Hubpages lately. I did read about National Poetry Month and not sure what you're up to with your entry: For National Poetry Month #11 Seems like you may be writing one poem a day for the entire month of April. What a great personal challenge.

On to the reflection of this poem. Quite chilling to read the strong force of the heart and connection to the ocean and tides. I'm concerned. Of course, as a homeopath when I hear words that sensitize me to the state of an individual's health this brings me home. I hope this comes from your desire to write a new poem and not actual organic sensations of the body. Wishing you well in body, mind and heart. Blessings, Debby

A heart squeezed shut hurts, is hard to breath..you described a feeling of hopelessness..Heart beat is muffled under the great water of despair..Truly creative..Great job Audry..

Audrey, I wish you would perform excripts from your poems in front of an audience. Your words are poigniant!

Audrey, what is your inspiration for such great lines of poetry? Jamie

Fantastic Audrey, and yes i do agree...how can one fully express oneself if the heart is restricted...
