A Poem by Donald Meikle
"

a song (one of many)

"
Did y� ever write a song?
And then try t� sing along
And find the words were getting in the way
Of a musical lament that y� really hadn�t meant
For someone you�d just met along the way

Are y� lonely?
Are y� feelin� kinda blue?
Is it only
That there�s nothin� you can do
To make it right

there are places in my life
Wrapped up and tied with strife
Stuffed and hidden deep inside my soul
As I walk with blinders flapping
Trying to avoid forgotten pain
I wonder if I�ll ever sing again

Are y� lonely
Feelin� sorta blue?
Is it only
Coz there�s nothin� y� c�n do
To make it write?
