Garden Of Sorrows

Over-run by problems had
under clouds shading the light
like storms of you, true but sad
raising perpetual night

Of all of the tomorrows
forever we sow and reap
in my garden of sorrows
I will always soul and weep

And in lonely time of droughts
where raining tears drown the seeds
very little hope that sprouts
but plentiful grow the weeds

Escaping between such woes
to harvest all my sorrows

Very nicely done. Gotta keep pulling those weeds, eventually the roses will bloom.

There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar.

I know that within your garden some of the rarest blossoms bloom with brilliance. Weed out those sorrows, my friend. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Craig, good to see a poem from you again. I know the feeling of more weeds than hopes growing in my garden.

A painful piece indeed Craig. I think it must be time to do some weeding, and look forward to new flowers in the springtime. It is a new year, with new chances. I wish you much happiness for this year Craig

Sometimes those weeds are the best, the natural, native plants that even though stepped on and often overlooked, ususally survive both droughts and floods. Hang in there, Craig. Your gentle flower may yet bloom when least expected.

Have you ever felt that pulling just one weed gives life to two more?
For some weeds are the garden and the flowers become the stranglers ...
I know of love that tries to bloom but past sorrows seem to keep it from taking full form, this is but a thought to those who share a "blue" thumb with me.

Thank you all for your sincerity and comments .... a weeding we will go!!
