While I've Been Away

While I've been away

I wondered and pondered and

just forgot about it

I came back and looked and

wondered and pondered some more

I saw Oscar-nominated films and

read great books and 

fretted and tossed and turned about 

my lesson plans for my university classes

knitted and knitted and entertained

visited my favorite blogs and 

wondered and pondered some more

till yesterday when I went to an author's 

lecture and she recited a poem that I felt

compelled to share with you

I didn't know when I would be back
It takes a poem!

Love, Stella

p.s. Will share said poem another time...
