yesterday's sorrow

sometimes I'm amazed
at how stale and stubborn
I have become
and even out of sync with time
but then since you left
I don't have any reason
to keep track of moment
that comes and goes

I din't even know
summer is gone
fall, too, is now buried
deep in the snow
somehow I am anticipating
the new birth of tomorrow
but here I am still nursing
in my yesterday's sorrow

I am never wishing
that our past would come back
hell no!
it's just that I wish
the wound heals
and my mind forgets
all these pains and heartaches

and I will be in sync
with the world and time
again..like it used to be
before I met you.

I find myself remembering too often bad people and the mean words or actions they have done to me. I find myself drawn to comedians, because laughter makes the pain go away.daydream

True words of love and hurt. The waiting period for wounds to heal.

Lindsy..
I pray that your natural graces return to you
soon. We must sit loosely on passions
edge. People can take care of some of our
needs, but they can't take care of all of
them. We are make of divine stuff, and none
of us are divine. Few might perceive the inner
truth that fires your soul. But even those few
may fall short of your expectations. Don't fall
prey to a world lost in its own soul.

don't we all know this familiar haunts in our lives
those days and Time past so slowly
many forgettable memories stirred up
like clearing up the store room and finding
pockets of gems among them
thank you Sis .

So glad this gem of a poem has resurfaced. I really needed to read it please
They say time heals all wounds. Yet for me it seems some may never heal just become more bearable to live with. Yet this one I hope will completely heal. I hope you are well my friend. wave

Happy I am for sure that these challenges we go through, truly make us who we are. Stronger and more resilient.

Looking back, I now know that pain can make us fully feel the depth of our being when it comes to love, trust, and love again, trust again. This time it makes us very cautious and careful and hope that life indeed have taught us a great many lessons to become a better person. Thanks.hug
lindsyjones
Amber thank you so much. Boy don't I love your state of New South Wales. So many memories there for me. Bondi, The Opera, Darling Harbor, etc. I almost ended up living there for long. But fate had it turned around.

Thanks for your read and comment.wave
