Somebody

I long--to be Nobody!
Alas--'tis not my fate--
Lover--to my wife--so dear!
Servant--to my faith.

I long--to be Nobody!
To stand--atop a cliff--
Stare at it--eye for eye--
And jump without a hitch!

Inspired by Emily Dickinson's "I'm Nobody! Who are you?"

I'm going to be absent for the better part of next week: I'll be headed back to California. Looking forward to rejoining the blog when I can and reading all the inspiring poems! Take care all!

Love this, I saw Emily Dickenson right away. Have a safe trip back to warm California. I'm super busy as well. It's the week before final exams here in Norcal and I'm swamped with papers, so I may be gone for awhile here and there. I'm looking forward to reading more of your writing.
