Poetry offerings from Marilyn McIntyre



            WHERE?

            Where?
            are poems alive
            upon the page
            do words have meaning
            does the music sing
            when no one hears
            am i alive when i'm alone
            does my breath soar
            and reach another's dreams
            will God hear me
            can i feel with no other
            to give me bounds
            and where do my feelings fly
            in the night
            mysterious and dark and calling
            if my eyes cannot see
            is it so
            and the candle
            what of the candle
            will it still glow
            without tender whispered murmurs
            where will my love touch down
            must it float forever
            meandering among the stars
            where does it all go
            where does it go
            when it's gone?
