Lessons I Learnt In Life

sooner or later everything you love you lose, in this place called your sad life some say, all part of this journey what did I lose, everything all of my beloved beyond an old gate they all repose in cold death they are gone sad my heart oh sorrow I weep on stone tears like falling rain all their names deep engraved flowers and flowers I bring down a winding lonely dark road where gnarled trees protect their resting place the lesson learnt, life is but a moment . . . . . . . . . __________________________ October 1, 2015 Double Etheree Inspiration - sooner or later everything you love ... you lose For the contest, Lessons I Learnt In Life, sponsor, Silent One Third Place

You sound Luke someone that has been through some tough challenges in life. I hope for your sake that you have or are going to come out stronger on the other side. What a way to express your emotions. Its a humbling experience to read your work. Keep it up young lady.

from the eye, Loved ones may part....yet they never leave the heart....because Love never dies....it just finds a new place to arise....;)

I'm new to this site. I have read alot of other people's pieces, and this one stood out to me. I love it. I can feel the ppain and sorrow through the literature. The words used expresses the pain and heartache we all feel at times. Keep up the good work. Amazing writing! Kudos. -randall-

This is a strong poem filled with sadness and pain.This is a poem that can't be imagined or understood completely by someone who hasn't been touched by such pain.
