Without Lament

Cry with no sorrow, for sorrow is small Do not hold me guilty for choices made Reflections you own hang on your mind's wall Hold them very close, one day they will fade My time passed without a sense of motion My dreams now silent with darkness I'm in The life I traveled with love's emotion Leads from this world, not to be seen again I sought life out filled with all my desires And tried to capture perfection I found I saw my way lighted by hopeful fires And chose a clearer path to faithful ground The longest journey was my lifetime spent Hurried times I traveled, without lament 6/21/19

"If thou remember’st not the slightest folly That ever love did make thee run into, Thou hast not loved." One must always seek out the hopeful fires to choose a clearer path to faithful ground. x
