Lost Maybe For the Best

I must accept the message, “You lost,”
I suppose in the nick of time.
The glow that I carried with hope
Has dulled, the sun gone away to hide.

Now that life is without you,
Days of illusions and dreams gone away,
I am gathered, kneaded upon a potter’s wheel,
Being shaped for another day

It's not a good feeling to lose someone, that's a given. But the lord has a way to work things out. Nice write, SW. Charlie

They say it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all, but that doesn't dull the pain much. Only time will do that or maybe a new adventure!!!.........pat

Your beautiful poem is thoughtful and meaningful, Sunlite. Too often pain and change go together, but hopefully its change for the better. I loved your last two lines as well, very artfully stated. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

To love and lost is to make us wiser and happier when the right one comes along. The changing we do is definitely for the better. Good poem.

Well expressed. I like the line about the potter's wheel and the ending of being shaped for another day because I see it as positive change :)
