| original work by C Steeves Speakman |
I sensed that you were nearby
It came by the scent of pipe tobacco
It’s funny, really
One moment I’m working away
The next I feel you near
Some may feel an eerie sense of foreboding
But I only felt safety
I know you’re looking over me
Silently watching me
Smiling as I grow
I know you’re there
I can feel you inside
Calming my emotions
Securing my heart
Against the unknown
Others back me in all trails taken
You travel with me

What is Poetry Starts?
…poems and prose from now back to teen years
…remembering a first writing love
…pumping the creative well yet again
…silencing the internal critic
