I Walk Away

Walking away- I have done so many times, and I am left with memories that live in my rhymes; oh, at funerals I have turned and walked away, while my beloved lay with the flowers that decay. I walked away from my beloved with tears, yet, I go to cold tombs no matter how many years; and I have walked away from my beloved pets, putting my dearly loved in the hands of vets. Walking away- is something I seem to do well, but the pain of this turning away is my living hell; this is a deep sorrow that no one ever forgets, but loving is something no one ever regrets. So when the dead are put to rest, I walk away, but locked in my heart they will forever stay. __________________________ December 14, 2015 Poetry/Canzone/I Walk Away Copyright Protected, ID 15-1105-309-0 All Rights Reserved.

Powerfully moving; we all go through it; we must move on because their souls have moved on. I tell myself that, all of the time when I lose someone or a beloved pet.

you hit the nail...there is an oldt buddhist saying with respect to what matters most...how well did you live, how well did you love, how well did you learn to let go
