Sad Truth

A distressful note long forgotten How varied the impact Dramatic, subtle Rising, falling. As vague as a fog shrouded shore As lost as my place in the world. A distressful note long forgotten It’s themes and variation define existence The intimacy of a lover. The indifference of a stranger A distressful note long forgotten Is the sad truth It’s who I am.

Sadly things go wrong in life and love, but still we can rise above… Belle

I agree, Bell. Fortitude, calm contemplation and self-love will serve us well in breaking through to the light. Thank you, Belle for understanding.

Poetry would not exist without sad truths.
