There are no explanations
Trepidation's of lost souls
Leave not, a forwarding address


Should one somehow some way
Live to see a different day
When all that doesn't matter
Lies undying in a simple moment
Then there I hope and pray
You will find me


Never to be confused my love
I shall not want, to be unwanted
And the dreams held so close
Shall never go undaunted
By the flame of yesterdays candle


The wind will still blow I know
While grass will continue to grow green
And future moons shall sing their tunes the same
The only difference my love
Is I, will not be there...to listen

This sounds tragic, almost like someone's suicide, harrowing end to what started so majestically, very good

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Dennis, this is so very heartbreaking, sweet friend, I too got the same thought reading this like Peter did, it is so very depressing to see many lose hope like this and my prayers are with all who struggle and cope with this! (sad sigh) This is very poignant indeed, sweet friend, BRAVO, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Dennis, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Oh my... this is very close to something that just went on in my own life.  It really struck me very deeply, and for this reason I'm going to vote.  You wrote this very well, but I might be a little biased because of how personal this poem feels for me.

tragic is the right word, sad .. but
it moves, and it's touching. the language
was softspoken and adds to the feel.
effectve write here, cool.

hi Dennis,

Wonderful writing here, full of emotion and very much a topic most to understand, loved the wording used.
