Haiku Friday - Distractions

Haiku Friday


There are times that come,
When I cannot concentrate,
your words roll off me.

I lose track of the
Empathy and Sympathy,
I cannot focus.

Distractions come quick,
And they are not unwelcome,
They shield me from you.

And yet I need you,
Your love and approbation,
I know I'll be back.

I will bring you love,
kindness and understanding.
'cause it's what we need.

I guess that happens to all of us, sometimes, no? Take your time, we'll still be here. Going to miss reading here while I'm on holiday. But I will be back too! See you in two weeks, Lou!

Beautiful and honest. As you always are, Lou :)

Michael said...

First two verses describe what I feel like today at work!

When I was young I used to "bring" what I needed to the other person. If I needed it, I thought they did too. Now I open my heart & mind to the needs of the other person, & I try to "bring" that if I can. ~Mary

Good stuff, Lou, and nicely 'ku'd. I think we've all felt that way at some point.

This says so much about what I'm struggling with right now. The words just aren't there when I sit to write my blog. It all keeps coming out as a whine and I just don't want that. So until I can find the words that are less depressing I'm having to just read and comment. Thanks for always writing what I'm feeling --- things will get better and hopefully sooner rather than later.
