ME. In the Shadow of the Mt.

0 posted 2010-08-15 06:40 AM



This is a very simple poem that I wrote after several tragic things happened in my life. The end of my marriage, the passing of my mother and an unexpected death of a dear friend. Sometimes there are no words to express how we feel and all we can do is cry.

I cried!
I cried!
You wonder why

I cried!
I cried!
Why did I lie!

I cried!
I cried!
I wish I tried!

I cried!
I cried!
Was it all a lie!

I cried!
I cried!
Why did you die?

I cried!
I cried!
Never good-bye!

I cried!
I cried!
Love will never die!

I cried!
I cried!
I cried!

when tragic things happen..it seems we find tears or wish for them...
poignant...and one can feel the emotions

The operative line here is:

"Love will never die!"

and for that, I congratulate you.

Sometimes few words can say so much.  This is one of those.  Very nice.

We are never truly ready to endure the transition of loved ones and how wise of nature to have provided us with the possibility to cry.

A powerful outlet indeed, dear Kat.

The soul connection goes on forever. May you feel it.

Love,
Margherita
