Sad Thoughts

The type of day that saps the soul
when energy sinks low,
where gloom and dismal feeling stir
and quench your inner glow.

Your body aches, your head is numb,
you feel that life’s no fun.
You’re plodding on to do your work
and glad when it is done.

You want to sit and ponder
on the things that made you sad,
with memories sent to haunt you
of the times that you found bad.

Now it’s right to take a moment
to re-live your own despair,
through the time you’re life was pointless
when you wished you were not there.

For in memory is our healing
where we navigate our soul,
where we learn to cope with sadness
and continue our life’s role.

For we cherish all our memories
and we collect them in our dreams,
for our life goes on regardless
of the heartaches we have seen.

Thank you Skat, your appreciation means a lot to me. I feel that it is difficult to understand how going through really distressing times can ever be remembered in a way that is acceptable, but we have to come to terms with what we encounter even with death or depression... Most people will encounter them through their life. Thanks once again... Ivor

I do not know if I can take you, Ivor Davies. Mark Woods wanted me to visit your poems because he thought they would blow me away; I am only on the 2nd one and he was right - BOOM. It is not just the excellent flow and rhyme, but also content that resounds with me as though, so far, we philosophize most similarly .... Yi ... CayCay oh, you might like one of my earlier posts, "Pain's Joy" - see if it hits home for you

Cay Cay. Firstly let me apologise for my lack of responses, I am sorry to say that just living has kept me away from the net and I only seem to get occasional spurts of times when I manage to pursue my passion nowadays. Yes we think similar and I am always pleased to hear your views in comment or message. I can not find your Pain's Joy... Can you send me a link please.... Ivor

Sorry for the delay Craig, thanks for your comments. It is also possible on reflection that some of our 'bad' times have turned out to be good?
