Sometimes sentiment sublates the stark cold truth
On gravestones, memory's mourning heart to soften;
This stony judgement I'd carve for myself:
'He loved not wisely - but he loved quite often.'
good stuff here, Shep! i think the same thing could be said for just about all of us, ha ha ha. Jake
Tch...what a common feeling that is. Loved far from wisely and loved far toooooo often in my life. Best love I found was for myself. in 1988. Since then I give love of a different kind to my children alone. The single life is far safer. Hugs Jan
I love it when a poet says volumes with only a handful of words. Rusty
Ahh, Michael...the perpetual simplicity in basic truth...nicely done... Lare
Beautiful the way you put philosophy into a few lines. I liked it. :)
To be able to write so much in only a few lines is something I aspire to - very well done indeed.
Nice, nice, nice. Excellent. To say more would trivialize what you have accomplished here.
