Realization

FredPeyer

She had buried her dreams

In the deserts shifting sands

Had left her aspirations

In strange and exotic lands

Had lost her one and only love

To somebody else’s wife

Though sad and hurt she realized

She was now free to live HER life

        THANKS FRED ~ Your excellent Poem mirrors my MANTRA ~ "Better to have Loved and lost ~ than never to have Love at all" I am an optimist ~ so I consider all LOSS as RELEASE to enable me too "To be free to live MY life again ! Yours BRIAN

                Thanks Goldfinch, you are so right, but it is not always easy!

                "Though sad and hurt she realized
                She was now free to live HER life "

                • FredPeyer

                  Thank you m&m! Hardships are challenges to be overcome and it is up to us on how we want to deal with them. One of my 'guiding lights' is Helen Keller!

                • Anna Marg

                  Great poem as allways!

                  • FredPeyer

                    Thank you so much, Anna. For me, writing a 'good' poem is like the blind chicken story. All the chicken has to do is pick long enough and it will find some food.

                    So much truth about us all in this fine poem, Fred.. Being thrust out of a relationship can result in an empowering spurt of growth. Painful, but often productive.
                    Good and insightful write here!

                    • FredPeyer

                      Thanks Louis, you said it all! Great comment, very much appreciated, my friend!

                      • orchidee

                        I'm gonna clear off and leave KP to it! lol. In my case 'Better not to have loved (?) KP at all'. doh! lol.

                        • FredPeyer

                          Thanks orchidee, I am always looking forward to your comments and how you will get KP involved! 🙂 And I have not been disappointed here, you did it again, and very cleverly, I might add!

                          • orchidee

                            Oh woe! It's utter misery! I shall keep grumbling. It's enough to make me want to write horror-genre poems! lol.
