One life One Journal What lesson is this living we call life? Rudimentary, and enlightening? Maybe one without the other, or to some, much too frightening to experiment, or explore Non-the-less, we live it as best we see fit With apologies and with regret, or not a single word to express lament… We win, we lose We win a heart We lose in love And find a friend Then it all too soon We realize, must end. Alone again, where it always begins Then we start anew searching out the warmth of sun and coral beach rolling surf, and gusty winds. Forgetting never past helpful whim to have lived simply without hate as fringe but with kindness and love for foe and friend well-wishing life, over and over: Beginning to end. ................................. "You'll probably end up hating me but I see no need to say goodbye" ~passing shadows  |

Life's lessons never cease I believe. One can only try their best to be the kind of human being we would like others to be as well. Nicely done. hugs, Chris Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. |

"Forgetting never past helpful whim to have lived simply without hate as fringe but with kindness and love for foe and friend well-wishing life, over and over: Beginning to end." A beautiful way to live life.. very nicely expressed. Hugs~Nancy ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

JL, How anyone can put so much wisdom in words, I don't know. Glad you do! Enjoyed this keeper. It brought back lots of memories, both bad (those have lost their punch now) and good. Enjoyed! misc |

Thanks all!! passing shadows inspires thinking in what she writes. She has a way of causing words to bubble-up to the surface. But then, I’m sure all who read her know that fact. I just couldn’t help it! She made me do it! LOL. Again, thanks!! JL |

Enjoyed this write JL. "Alone again, where it always begins" Yes, quite right - we start and end alone. Makes one wonder what it's all about sometimes. |

JL, I'm keeping this one in my library with the select few treasures I've tucked away over the years. To me, inspiring another is a poet's greatest achievement and the best compliment to receieve! Thank you  |

a wonderful take from Passing's poem the other day which I had the priviledge to read. Life is, in fact purpose, and this reinterates the strength in having faith in oneself first...otherwise, all else seems futile. great great poem |
