We will never die
sorenbarrett said:

So metaphoric this poem strikes close to home I love the line (the lie stings even my own tongue ) a fave the message I take to be that one can take another\'s pain on through a lie and suffer it oneself. A most noble concept that many may debate the ethics of but seems most giving in intent.

Lost moments
Cheeky Missy said:

La, how gorgeously rendered with superb imagery and an exquisite poignancy, tendering a most painful reality many will resonate with, until I\'m left speechless yet so very, very sad. Thank you very much for sharing. I love it, albeit I\'m sorry you must taste such exquisite misery.

Lost moments
sorenbarrett said:

We sell ourselves short and in doing so lock the door to what could have been. Maybe it would work, maybe not who\'s to know if you don\'t give yourself a chance and try, then persist until it is certain. A wonderful write of the inner self and its doubts.

The Trying
arqios said:

But the trying is tough and the sense of worth doesn’t come readily. Indeed! So here I remain all the soggier for wear.

If the underlying message is keep trying, pushing, then you\'ve got it right, I think.

After
sorenbarrett said:

Thoughts that many have and when the last person to know you is gone who will remember then? Our influence goes on and ripples like waves in a pond. Our influence on one may affect another and so on, A butterfly effect if you would. Nicely written it has a haunting feeling to it.

After

If you have been loved, you will stay in the memory of those still living who knew you. I remember my great grandmother well and she was born in the late 1800’s. Such a kind old lady. Guilt doesn’t come into it. It’s all about love. Nice poem. Have a happy Thursday.

Good advice said so well. Therapeutic to those that will listen just like poetry is beauty and art to those that will listen. Brilliant!
