Poems that matter

Moving on from the passed

Thanks to @GregCee for inspiring this poem

Moving on from the passed

Stuck on your own in thought

Wondering how it all happened

Those or what we hold dear are lost to us

Hoping they have reached the promised land

Left to pick up the pieces

Reaching for the end of the tunnel

Pondering their presence

Sinking and shrinking into a shell

To take pride in their lives and time

Memories last forever

A body holds as a vase does

Grateful but in tears for the time

Life goes on but pockmarked

Seasons take on more meaning

Spring renews destiny

Summer basks in achievement

Autumn awaits the cold

Winter returns pleasant darkness

Anniversaries become new memorials

Honoring the lost fits their fancy

The flame still shines on

Purpose is slowly found again

Life once more is worth living

Tears vary with each emotion

A constant cycle continues

Fate lends a hand in matters

Kind words are etched into memory

Good times enrich sanity

Never an opportune time

The final flower wilts

The final clouds fade out

The final laugh makes everything alright

The final wave washes ashore

The days become easier

Coping is bearable

The heart is mended

A legacy is formed

Lasting forever in time and space

Ravens and doves roost in sympathy
