No More To Prove

It’s all over now; The house is clean, The laundry folded, The children grown. It’s all over now; Forward is short, Backward is long, Nothing more to do. Friends gone or in homes, Telephone silent, A car passing is excitement, Quiet is resounding. Days are blank pages; Routine a necessity; Just hanging on, One Two, One Two. It’s all over now.

Oh my friend.... Life moves so quickly, just yesterday the house was full of noise... now it seems empty, but life goes on, and you have so many adventures to still take part in.. Chin up Sunlite, this is not the end, just the beginning... Your poems have made me sad today... That is a big compliment, as normally I do not feel such emotions from poems...

Desperate, melancholic...and all rather depressing; sums up, for a lot of people, the way it all ends. But, perhaps, there is another way? Perhaps an iron-will can transcend all of this...for those determined enough to cultivate one? My very best regards, Sunlite. :) john

Oh how many people find themselves in that situation we cannot count but there are millions for sure! You have captured this phenomenon so well! I only hope it is fiction for you! Keep writing my friend for your pen may touch many. This may become a goal on its own! Well written dear, S.W.

Thank you for your kindness. I like to write poetry. It is a very challenging outlet for me. But I know with this group, I'm over my head. LOL
