Do Not Cry

Come, my friend, Do not cry For Tears blur your vision of life, Distorting thus reality Come, my friend, Wipe your tears and see how clearer The world appears: The shapes, sharper, The colors, brighter, The flowers, softer, The sounds more melodious The scents more aromatic. Come, my friend, Smile and you will enjoy more Nature’s beauty: The majestic mountains The green valleys The impenetrable forests The mighty rivers The endless seas. Come, my friend, Laugh and tell me, aren’t: Your pains subsided? Your fears minimized? Your hopes augmented? Your doubts reduced? Your dreams intensified? Come, my friend, Together we are going to face life, by: Crying, smiling, laughing, fighting, loving, Living, and dying. Come, my friend, You are not alone anymore for I am next to you And next to you I will stay, No matter what may come For I wish to help you So out of this adventure, that life we call, you Victorious to emerge! © Demetrios Trifiatis 12 November 2015 POTD

Loneliness is a fearful state! Your lovely write is likened to lifting a veil and removing the blurriness of life. Thank you for these words they will mean much to many. God Bless. D.

Hello Demetrios, I'm presently putting together a narrative poem that I plan to post tomorrow concerning the tragedy in Paris. I figured it was the least I could do to show my solidarity and support to the French people in their most tragic hour of need!! Cheers and Best, Gary

Robert, my good friend, it is so wonderful to see you again! Yes, I know I write only short poems because of not much time but always I try not to compromise the message I ought to send! Thank you so much for your kind visit and comment plus your generous grading!

Richard, my very good friend, happy am I that the longer poems you like. I like them too sometimes but the older I get the shorter poems I write for I wish only the gist of life to define. Thank you for your visit and generosity!
Date: 11/12/2015 3:31:00 AM
I, for one, am pleased to see you write a longer piece. Most of your writes are short and oh so sweet, but leave me wanting more. This one gives me much more, and still, I want to keep reading. Melody and Nette are correct...it offers serenity as if in a prayer. 7

Thank you for your generous words, dear Lin. It is true I write short poems for I wish to be precise to what I would like to express. Furthermore I do not have much free time so I spend 10-15 minutes to write a poem. This one took me more than 30 minutes for it was written for a friend of mine that goes through a difficult period plus I wanted to embrace the philosophy of life so everyone could benefit in some degree. Thank you so much for your gracious comment and grade!
