My Hidden World

Sadness reaches further Than the shores of the island's heart Stretching outward thru the banks Inward, where the rivers start Population of the mainland That, I do not know But sadness spreads like,"wildflowers" Past the shores of,"I told you so" My forest once held vegetation That was green and full of life Flowers once blossomed there The aroma serene and nice Life was almost perfect Everyday was bright & new Until the fateful day, heartache came, And it broke the island into Quakes of mass destruction Swallowed happiness deep within Trees collapsed on the spot Flower lost their grins Hope was never given A chance to run for cover It remains trapped in the abyss Alone without its lover Joy remains hopeful Clinging for its life Upon mount envious With jealous by its side On that day, The 10th cold day In December you shared the news That shock like a quake It took away Everything I knew R.K.Harp P

Please don't feel sorry for me. It was a long time ago. Sometimes the things we think are bad (that happen) are actually a blessing. But thank you for your kind words.
