Time To Let Go

"I will let all my grief sink like fallen trees in a forest that in time decay" Oh, how many times have I opened that rusty, ornate, creaking gate, and followed a long, winding road to a place of deep grief; while gnarled trees whisper and the wind tangles my raven hair it is time for me to let go of all sadness and leave the dead in peace. _______________________________ September 6, 2016 Poetry/Quote/Verse/Time To Let Go Copyright Protected, ID 16-826-208-0 All Rights Reserved.

Constance, there is a big difference in forgetting and moving on. Take the good, leave the bad and try to go forward. However, I do love your sad poems. I usually relate to them very well.

Beautifully said, perhaps all we need do, is remember the love they gave.
