what haven't yet have I done?

what have I thought not yet resolved
as I swim in the ocean of your sorrows
what words is there haven't I said
as I bathe in the rivers of your pains
what acts are left haven't I labored
as I dance in the rains of your sufferings
what has my eyes haven't yet seen
as my tears drop in the cup of your silence
what rock there is I haven't turned
so I find the gate back to your heart
and that I wouldn't get dislodged?
what tune is there I haven't sang
that will bring the sunshine back
and light the ground I stand on?
oh I know, it's not the time
but when it comes, and
there's no more tears to shed
there's no more air to breath
and my heart beats its last...
please remember,
I've always loved you.
always..and don't forget
your oceans, your rivers
were all mine to conquer and cross
so I could get back to you

yet I'm sure this is only a wistful thinking
but I can't help remembering

Sometimes we like to hang onto the past. We like to relive the sweet memories... By all means relive them but keep your eyes firmly on the future

LJ , the power of your pen is just awesome ,
The images and the phrases moved me.
Still though......
Heed the good advice of your friends
and slowly loosen the ties of the past,
until they are drowned in that ocean.
Every good wish !
Mick.

Thank you so very much my dearest loved friend of mine. You know? Just sharing all your life is putting me on a heck of overdrive to be concerned about all important things in life. and let me tell you it is so much easier to get to the bottom if we do dig way deeper to the core. Thanks for the enlightening situation of the heroes of our lives...

Love you too, my friend.. and don't you forget that...

forever,

Dear L.J, we learn to live with the pain of lost love, like the woman who lost their husbands and lovers in the last wars, though many did go on to love again. Very deep poignant poem. hug purple heart
