Poem - Where Were You?

By: John E. Murray, III

Where were you?
Where were you when the onslaught of inspiration hit?
Sensing…
Where were you when stream of consciousness took over?
Absorbing…
Where were you when the lulls of lapsed time blended together?
Hoping…
Where were you when the inspiration began to fade?
Worrying…
Where were you when the flame was extinguished?
Crying…
Why didn’t you help?



You never asked.
