When Sorrow Comes To Lay ~*Marge Tindal*~  When sorrow comes to lay across the heart, it does so without invitation. It intrudes and drapes the room in quaking sobs. Shaking to the very core of me, I cry out for it to go. Uninvited, it invades in shades of gray, permeating my very soul with a sadness I don't want to know. If tears could drown it, it would be dead. I know there is a light out there - Please, someone help me open the curtain so that I might see the light again. Let me plant a flower where sorrow has been. A reminder that all things flourish in the light of knowing, I am not alone. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (edited 01-19-2001).] |

Even a darker poem from you is penned beautifully! Excellent flow and theme. No, you are never alone, light will find it's way to you again. And, boy, do I ever relate to your words, but, now I also take heed to your wise lines at the end. Take care, Melissa The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |

What an incredible description of sorrow... an uninvited visitor that overwhelms your life and refuses to drown even when deluged by tears. This beautiful poem has a depth of understanding that I fear is drawn from experience, not imagination... so I can only assure you... you're not alone. |

Sometimes sorrow has a way of making us feel and see things different than they actually are. Beautiful write Marge. Rich |

When friends catch and hold your tears - the sorrow is diluted. Bless each of you for your thoughts. I know I am not alone. There is a great light shining. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Your words are gripping, well felt. I once heard a quote that went something like this, "Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers." (Don't remember who said it.) Anyway, your poem reminded me of that...finding beauty where there is pain. Marie~ |
