Borne of a Young Mother

It was the innocent spring of life, of which, never shared
Spent summer youth in blanket gaze or in mystic stare
Now the autumn winds, whisper of twice cried tears
Of two stories told, each welling deep, the worst of harbored fear
Maybe forever, two winters of discontent
But still yet, a band plays on
Purveyed are souls
Seasons will pass, never meant

Hi David, nice to meet you!Your poems are wonderful!..you are very gifted, and there is more behind each one than meets the eye,I try to figure out what the story really tells.To answer you..you are not the only one who "tweaks and tweaks" poems.I do it even after it has been submitted weeks before!! I sometimes re-read it after several days...and know it isn't quite right.I've even gone back and messed them up...so guess my lack of confidence makes me unsure.I'm not as gifted as some here!
