Dorothea

a sonnet

Because they

No longer hear you

They can't believe

That I do

They can't conceive

That it's true

Because they 

Stopped seeking your voice

They think I should too

But, that's something

I won't do

Unless, some day

You tell me to ...

That, I owe you

[Michael Sun Bear]

This poem speaks strongly to me but I don’t know if it’s the same way it speaks to you?

Someone you lost?

[Desert Knave]

Thank you. Yes, it is a little homage to someone long gone that I still speak to. ~Jim
