The shade has been pulled down tonight No longer can we see her light So hard to understand this thing Where life and death convene on thee Life is such a fragile thing With turbulence we live and sing To pacify those things we need Remember love is but the seed A seed we planted yesterday No longer here to shine our way We keep with fondness in our life Remember all that was her might No way to question why things are There are no guides to see the stars We’ll muddle through this passage way And hope with help we’ll make the day So trust that there’s a bigger plan That here we live is just the land And after all we suffer here The reasons for my life appear And help me comprehend The source of our beginnings And the reason for its end. |

Spiked~ 'Life is such a fragile thing With turbulence we live and sing To pacify those things we need Remember love is but the seed What a beautifully tendered piece, my friend. Love - yes, indeed it is the seed - planted in our hearts to grow ... 'So trust that there’s a bigger plan That here we live is just the land Am pondering these thoughts, poet. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Wow, such an insightful, well-written poem on the confusion and inquiries of life. Yes, love is the ultimate seed, and we must walk on through the obstacles, to make this seed bloom and complete our hopes and dreams. Love and light will overcome all! Excellent poem, my friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

I liked the metaphor in the title here, Rich. Which reminds me, it may just be time for me to put my curtains back up. Nice write. |

So please tell me Richard, why is it I feel as if I have just heard a lovely eulogy...for it sounded quite clear as if you had lost a loved one... but ah, the way of poets, and the way of their read, right? |

Death is like an unanswered question. "A seed we planted yesterday No longer here to shine our way We'll keep with fondness in our life Remember all that was her might. And we will remember....Thank You. |
