An old friend....

I imagine that some people feel like poetry is out of reach for them, that it is either historically or intellectually distant from their own lives. The greatest thing that a person can discover, or rediscover, is that poetry is the thing that is right there next to her. It's never far away.

That empty space on the pillow next to me when I awaken from a dream.... that's where the poetry is, waiting to be noticed.
