Question: One more for the day, from my crazed muse!. Will you read!?
OFF THE RADAR

Haven't seen me
in a while,
know I'm there,
smiling from the Earth,
jumping at the sound
of my voice!.

Hide in the
silhouette
of a face not mine;
breathe coveted
existence!.
Notice me, notice me,
like a cell phone
on vibrate!.

Thank you stranger,
putting flowers on granite!.
Thank you for knowing
I am lost,
but not gone;
faded,
but not forgotten!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
From whence did this spring!? This is excellent!. The first verse speaks as if you are here in body, alive in the World, but you have lost who you are, your personality - so lost and alone that even your own voice startles you!.

And whilst being lost you are desperate not to completely disappear (not sure of meaning of breathe coveted existence) but, you cannot call out, you are like a leaf swaying/trembling hoping to be noticed!.

But, then the last verse - !.
- a complete stranger is able to reach and touch you like putting flowers on an unkempt grave and in doing so, lets you know at least one person knows that you are still here!.

This is so poignant - I hope it isn't autobiographical!Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is a very unusual poem, the voice from the grave beseeching to be noticed and thanking a stranger for flowers!. It is a poem with pathos and has both clarity and an ethereal quality in its imagery!. I really love so many lines but I think me favorites are
Hide in the

of a face not mine;
breathe coveted
existence!.
They are not only beautiful but make the meaning of the poem clear!. It is a wonderful poem!. Thank you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I liked it - especially

Notice me, notice me,
like a cell phone
on vibrate!.

The image is very clear of a spirit just wanting to be acknowledged - to validate their existence - to know that they can still reach the world of the living!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
