Too soon to feel, my bleeding heart, if I can love again
To see if passion, beyond tears will triumph over pain.

To soon to know, my battered mind, if grief will still my pride
And I unquestioning become a still small voice inside.

Too soon to see, my aching eyes, the glory or the bliss
To sense the beauty of the skies, beyond this blind abyss.

Too soon to tell my downcast mouth, if I can shout out praise
And take a fragment of your joy to help me all my days.

Too soon to hear the words of grace, that plummet on my mind
To hear beyond the callous grief, that makes me deaf and blind.

Too soon to live victorious, to know the joy of peace
I'll look for other ways of calm, and seek a sweet release.

Too soon to feel, my bleeding heart, if I can take the pain
Cocooned in shock how much of me, will later still remain.

Too soon to tell if I survive and go on without you
Too soon to know, too soon to tell, too soon I say, too soon.



Kethry.
When dark of night steals your soul. Think of me and be made whole.

~Kethry,...this is so great. Not that you were hurt and feel that maybe it's too soon of course, but this writing. Gosh, it just read so nicely. It went along and took me through every aspect of it. Too soon...hhm, well, perhaps it may feel like that but maybe allowing something of a lighter source in will aid in the healing. Great writing. Take care now. *Peace.

This was a beautiful piece of work, both in rhyming and in it's content.  Your repetition of "too soon" did not get annoying, but helped convey an anxious quality in this poem.  Good work.

That one even can ponder timing is progress...

Too soon to see, my aching eyes, the glory or the bliss
To sense the beauty of the skies, beyond this blind abyss.


Wonderful line in a very good poem.
Thank you for the read,

Ditto to all the above. Fantastic!
And if it is about you, of course things will get better!

Thanks for your comments everyone. It is about me sort of. I wrote it after my best friend died in a car accident last year.  I was feeling pretty bad at the time buts it's all better now lol.
