Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

Winds of Forever

light passing
through the window
      reminds us that
when we seek 
    we shall find
the joys we have known
    and the joys we shall know 
in the future 
    are something we 
wait for 
       outside of time
  Reality is but a shadow 
Seems like thisr shadow 
      is coming to 
cover us 
    with a blanket of 
darkness
fighting against sorrow 
  we reach
 for the stars
   they too shall die
but long after we do

Andrea Dietrich March 4, 2010 at 9:18 PM Matt, it might be on page two of my stuff, but the easy way to find it is to go to the top center of the poetrysoup screen, click on poem and type in the title, The joy that sweetly stays. It will come up higlighted in green and you just click on that. I use that way alot to find peole's poems. Sometimes theyhave so many poems, it is hard to find them here. thanks for commenting, Matt. LUv, Andrea

Andrea Dietrich March 4, 2010 at 6:49 AM I really enjoyed reading this one, Matt, and its realism. I wrote one The Joy that Sweetly STays, different take on it and yet I think we think the same! LUv, Andrea

Carolyn Devonshire December 2, 2009 at 2:41 PM This work says much about the human struggle to find happiness. Unfortunately, the wait never ends for some. Quite a profound statement, Matthew. Very nice work! Love, Carolyn
