Another goes to Japan,
Many are depressed.
Some are on a high,
And others on hiatus,
Some just seldom post.
They come and they go,
but one constant seems to be,
life, ever changing.
All of life's drama,
Plays out in the blogger's world,
Day by day, by day.
Tragedy, at times,
Joy and passion at others,
the gamut is run.
And all one can do,
is stand by, and watch, and feel,
The pain, or the joy.
It is frustrating,
The written word not enough,
There is no touching.
No embrace or hug,
No kiss to make it better
No wiped away tear.
Just sit there and read,
And hope what you have to say,
Conveys your meaning.
The word, taught to me by a blogger, whom I have met, who has a place in my heart and soul forever, is "Ndinombethe". It means, "As I go, I am wearing you".
Each and every one of you.

What a beautiful piece of poetry. I look forward to reading more of it!
But what you say often does make it better. You're always the man with the right words and the right piece of advice. That's why we all love you so much! To top it all off; you're a wonderful writer!! This is a beautiful piece of poetry!
Lovely! I will remember that word always...love it, thanks for sharing!
What lovely sentiments you express. I will remember that expression, Ndinombethe, thank you.
You say the sweetest things!
What you said is so true. And so beautifully put, as always. We are sharing our lives as best we can, the good, bad and ugly. It would be nice if we could do it in person though :)
that was good lou, and i hope things work out alright for everyone.
beautiful haiku. thoughts i myself have had too...
I had seen that on the end of your posts and wondered what it meant. Beautiful.
Your words DO help... and they're beautiful. I wish I had an ounce of your talent... of empathy; compassion; with words.
While you're wearing me, darlin, I hope you have clothing on too.
Beautiful Lou.
That was one of the best poems I've read in a long time. Awesome!
you did capture the limits of blogging really well. comments and emails only go so far to convey emotions.
Absolutely beautiful!
How true, and beautifully written. You have a way with words...and the ladies too!
That is quite possibly the most beautiful Haiku I've ever read. So powerful.
Very, very nice. You make us bloggers feel special.
So beautiful. I think you captured life within the blogosphere so well here. It is so tough seeing friends and good people only through words. But I hope you know, that your words really do make a difference.
