Gone

Another generation
Wiped off the face of the earth
With its untold stories
Buried secrets
Unreachable depths
Irretrievable treasures
Souls from the past
Shrouded in grey clouds
Dissipating in the distance
Gone in a gust of wind

James Inman Date: 9/29/2018 2:33:00 PM Interesting poem Line. I understand where you are coming from, but, even being the dark pessimist that I am, I see things a little different. The world we live in is an amalgamation of everything that has come before us. Not lost just incorporated into who we've become, for better or worse. I liked the poem. It made me think.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 4/12/2018 7:45:00 PM oh wow, LIne, I was on YOUR wave length here when I composed my ten words sonnet last night that I just posted. I sometimes think how in a hundred years from now ALL will be gone that had any relationship to me directly, such as my grandkids and my sisters. Love this. I wish it won with Brian but at least you got an HM with Julie. I'm on my way off here now but had to see at least one of your fine poems. Dinner to make and some fast trompoline jumping in front of Netflix! Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 4/12/2018 8:06:00 PM Thank you so much for your lovely visit and comment, Andrea. Don't fall off. Line xx
