Constance La France Poet Etheree

Lessons I Learnt In Life

sooner or later everything you love 
you lose, in this place called your sad life
some say, all part of this journey
what did I lose, everything
all of my beloved
beyond an old gate
they all repose
in cold death
they are
gone
sad
my heart
oh sorrow
I weep on stone
tears like falling rain
all their names deep engraved
flowers and flowers I bring 
down a winding lonely dark road
where gnarled trees protect their resting place
the lesson learnt, life is but a moment . . . . . . . . .

Randall Combs October 2, 2015 at 1:03 AM I'm new to this site. I have read alot of other people's pieces, and this one stood out to me. I love it. I can feel the ppain and sorrow through the literature. The words used expresses the pain and heartache we all feel at times. Keep up the good work. Amazing writing! Kudos. -randall-
