A single teardrop wins the battle not to be contained Only to evaporate and fall again as rain The dust that's blowing in the wind once walked among the trees The secrets that were never shared now whisper in the breeze How many lonely dreams lay in the soil that we sow How many broken hearts are in the roses that we grow How many waves have washed away the footprints we have tread How many bones must crumble just to make our daily bread The air that we are breathing has brought life to those before The sunshine we are feeling will not be forevermore The water in our bodies will depart us one day soon The colors in a rainbow are all made from me and you We are the lives that lived before and those still yet to come A spirit still forever shared from whom we all are from Some say our souls continue on and maybe that is true But part of us will always stay this earth, is me and you Freedom of expression is our, write. |

"We are the lives that lived before and those still yet to come a spirit forever shared from whom we all are from." Your poems have special meaning for me, Richy. Thank You for sharing. Ida |

Richy, I read your poems at least twice. ~ Not because I don't understand them, but strictly for the sheer pleasure of doing so!   Linda |

Richy, this is the first of your poems that I have read, and most certainly not the last. I enjoyed it immensely, and not just because I am very much a person of this beautiful earth. Just 2 small things, if you don't mind - as you say, you're a big boy! - "lay" should be "lie" and "depart us" should be "depart from us". - Owl |
