poetry infused with art
listen for her voice
spring blossoms leave too soon
dusty memory
I went to a blogger’s site this week and she was gone. There was a sadness I felt because I enjoyed her work. So often we cross paths with people and we never get the chance to say “goodbye.”
To each of you in the blog world: Your words touch me and others – for that I am grateful!!!
Here are some A to Z folks with words to enjoy this day:

Losing someone does hurt a lot. Such is life, what can one do.

It is interesting how we can feel another’s presence, without ever having met the person f2f. And the contrary is true, also. The absence of a connection leaves a hole. Yes, the hole will be filled with other presences, other diversions, but questions and concerns will linger for years.

Aw, that is sad. But definitely gives me something to think about regarding the online community. Nice to meet you via the A-Z challenge!

That has happened to me a couple of times. Once a poet’s site remained but she disappeared, and my last email from her had been frantic, so it really caused me concern. We do make strong connections online, every bit as meaningful – and sometimes even closer – than our real-time people. I hope she is okay. Sometimes people just shut down their blogs for a time, to take a rest. It is time-consuming. But I cant imagine my life without it.

I could imagine that would be very difficult. I feel like those of us in the blogging community become friends after a while. So sorry for your loss. 😦

I know what you mean. We grow close to one another through through blogging, but I believe we grow especially close to each other during the A to Z challenge and I’ve grown very fond of many bloggers. There have been a few that I’ve started looking forward to reading and then poof their blogs disappear. It’s kind of jolt to your system after reading someone everyday for a while. You’re right, a sadness does come over you. You’re haiku expresses the feeling, perfectly.
Thank you for sharing the blogs that you’ve connected with during the challenge. That’s a brilliant idea.

Photo and poem are wonderful. I have had that same experience, and it hurts. Even though most bloggers have not met, we all start to feel like family.
