Poet's Dream, Lover's Lament, Loss Echoes Into Dark Pits

Poet's Dream, Lover's Lament, Loss Echoes Into Dark Pits Poet's dream, lover's lament and loss echoes into dark pits life assaults us with its darkest, shocking hits. Sadness hangs its tentacles into our longest held desires shooting burning embers out of devastating fires. Upon the highest mountains we climb just to see our souls fate delivers deep misery written in its rolls. As we counter with our sincere prayers and desperate cries love so often burns up and then quickly dies. When we settle into those sweet valleys so far down below beg for fair weather, a blizzard brings its snow. Storms race in delivering sunken ships on a storming sea pains grows like leaves on huge spreading oak tree. And if ever we find a shining cloud we hope saves our love we soon see hail blasting down from darkness above. Bleak future begins to invade our lives and sweetest dreams only bad luck embraces us or so it always seems. Poet's dream, lover's lament, loss echoes into dark pits life assaults us with its darkest, shocking hits. Sadness hangs its tentacles into our longest held desires shooting burning embers out of devastating fires. Robert J. Lindley, 02-11-2015 Another poem from my private journal...
