acceptance

by Cymbre Dolphay

I walk through this valley
in the shadow of death
cold handed, cold breathed
alone to my travels
alone in my strife
the sorrow I know
has imprisoned me here
left to my fate

The sun shall return
and the land of light
but now it is dark
while the heart mourns
the loss of something lovely
nothing that can be changed
just a setback of life

Yes, just a setback of life. Can be a begining of something good. After all events are interconnected. One cannot be separated from the other.Well said.

to love is prosaic. to be loved is poetic. poetry ultimately is not about being loved but bout about love that goes unrequited. it is the germ of poetry, this needing to be loved in return.
