Hello Out There Poem by bob barci

Hello out there
it's been too long.
How have you been?
I've been just fine,
with nothing to say,
no point to make.
But, I've been gone too long.
I let my chances slip by
in a harmful way.
Thoughts filled my head
and the hand refused to write.
I knew I wanted to say something,
but the phrases were all out to lunch.
So, now I'm back,
for whatever length of time,
rummaging through the hallways of discarded thoughts.
Lost thoughts for me to find
and turn into poems.
Hey you out there –
I'm home again.
