Tides Of Life

Posted Feb 23, 2023 · 26 lines · 28 critiques

Where do I even start?
to pen my life story
so many tides of change
like sands of an unwavering dune

Longing to rekindle.
All that is now past.
of happier times and of love
As it was then, and is now

I retreat to the pangs.
of a silent broken heart
tearful eyes flow like a river.
Reaching for what used to be.

Where can I even start?
to pen the feeling in words

Read the rest of the poem Show less

deep reflections of thoughts
with no beginning and no end

Memento Mori, we live to die.
We die to live.
The tides of life
never to be the same

For the family I once had
Now they are gone.
Life will never be the same.
When was it ever?

"Sometimes, I Cry, and That's Okay" by @Kristen H.
"On your win and I can relate to your poetic write here too. The tears just come as they may and I agree are cleansing in nature as well. To block all the emotions inside would make one ill they say and tears run like a…"
