Sitting all alone in quiet reflection.
Tied to this life I have created.
Looking blindly out the window.
No new thoughts,
only my memories.
My memories.
I'll take them with me when I go.
Even though the load ways me down.
They belong to me alone.
I wish I could share them with you.
But I cant.
I cant.
If only.
If only this.
If only that.
Pondering life and all its unanswered questions.
I'm going to die not knowing.
Goodbye cruel world!
I was born not knowing and I will die not knowing.
So what was the point?
Is there a point?
I sit here with my list.
Pondering...
A list of one.
Me.
Me alone.
My name is the only name on the list.
And I have no idea what the list is for.
What my life is for.
What this world is for.
But there sits my list.
A list of one.
Me.
Me alone.
You and I are not on the list.
Only me.
So is it a list if I am the only one on it?
A list........of one?

A list of one is perfectly fine--you have your priorities straight--look out for you--no one else will as well as yourself...try to enjoy life as best you can-- enjoyed the poem..thanx--Love--Peace--Prayers--Bobbette

Thank you,Bobbette... I guess with a list of one you don't have to worry about being #2,huh?

Exactly!!!!!!!Peace-Love-Prayers-Bobbette

But on the other hand, a list of one seems so pointless. Why even have a list when the list is but a list of one, that one being me...or you,depending on whose list it is..? Are we all alone with our private lists of one hidden in our private diaries, written for no one to read?? Seems sad and pointless...

Hi Steve friend,

A list of one can certainly be a majority of one, & a majority of one can be on the shopping list, Santa's list, a things to do list & looking out the window "blindly" lets the reader "see" that a list of one can only be a lonely list--not anyone even to share those memories with. Memories imply more than one involved, so that the speaker may, by looking blindly, have sold the list itself for the presumed privelege of being on it--a mess of potage? Grim pome, but yeah. Thanks.

Tom/Tam

Tam/Tom is back!!!! We missed you! Hope you have been having fun and doing happy holiday things. I also hope you are feeling well as you are always in my prayers. Oh, and by the by, the poem was kind of mediocre at best. I posted it as I was staring out the window and not really thinking, just random thoughts and pity party stuff. Thanks for the input, you know I need my Tam/Toms valued opinion.
Peace and Love and slainte,
Steve

Well, excuseeeeeeeeeeeeeee me! We, in this tridd family, are not chopped liver. You are number 1 with us, at the top of the list.......................hell, try 60 - that's my number of birthdays and, OMG, it is depressing, but beats the alternative.

We love and care for you.

Blessings,
Gerry

But gerry, Tam/Tom always responds to my poetry...it isn't that I don't love you! You are right, all of us tridders are special! is tridders the right word??ALSO, I didn't even know you were reading the poetry cuz you never say anything about whether you liked it or hated it...so give us some feed back in the Creativity forum!!!

I read this forum all the time and am amazed at the creativity you artists enjoy. Too bad more of us don't have the gift of words. This pome seemed so lonely and yet alive and I just felt compelled to tell you that you are valued and loved.

Blessings,
Gerry

Thank you, gerry....just one of those days I guess. We all have them. Some more than others. I bet you could put pin to paper if you feel inspired...give it a try! Thanks for the kind words and for reading my stuff.Love,Steve
