Cleaning Up Files

My computer has long been my lifeline for a lot of things. One thing I do often is journal writing.  And sometimes, once written, it's lost and forgotten, almost as if it becomes acknowledged and I can let it go. It happens more often when I'm stressed, or some other kind of strong feeling.  I recently stumbled across some files from 2007, thought I'd share a little poetry I had written:

i sit

and feel nothing

but empty

when you're gone.


i wait

and feel hopeful

you will

return to me.


i smile

and feel joy

when i 

think of you.


i dream

and feel love

for the

man you are.


i love

and feel warmth

surround and

infuse itself within.

And now I have about 40 more files to go through, figure out where it should be stored. I started this quest of locating the beginnings of a novel .... and I've found three different files, some of the versions were revisions, so back to editing and arranging, and maybe completion!
