You Walk Into Stonewalls, Just To Feel the Hard Knocks

You Walk Into Stonewalls, Just To Feel The Hard Knocks O where do you go when you can no longer stand When flowers are fallen and dying colors bland Everywhere fly sorrows, heart does not agree And amidst darkness, even eagles cannot see. You walk into stonewalls, just to feel the hard knocks Breakfast is cold, crunchy as sharply broken rocks. O do you from such pitiful state ever rise Morn comes crying, bad is everyday surprise Night wails its curses and moon refuses to shine And in that lonely, you know you've lost what is fine. You walk into stonewalls, just to feel the hard knocks Breakfast is cold, crunchy as sharply broken rocks. O can one ever a new island hope to find When misery has come and sealed his eyes blind What can a poor boy discover to give release Or dare to dream of that true love, joy and sweet peace? You walk into stonewalls, just to feel the hard knocks. Breakfast is cold, crunchy as sharply broken rocks. Robert J. Lindley, 4-20-2022 Rhyme, Note- Some days bring a bit of sunshine Other days, dark-sorrows return When lost romance, treasure so fine For her love, I cry, I so yearn.

Sorry for your loss. Darkness seems to stay after a loved one has ceased not to be around, for how long, I don't know. I still feel his presence at every turn. Prayers for you my friend
