Oblivion Poem by Valerie Dohren

A well written poem Val. They can't all be pretty ones - that's life.

There is nothing left... You wrote comment for my poem Enough for This Life which has similar tones. You are right - many feel this way. Maybe everybody feels this way sometimes. Thank you.

A peaceful and well considered poem not melancholy but instead with a calm resignation as the only true option against a superior and inevitable happening. Perhaps calm acceptance is the our best way to shut down. In my poem What reason for this mortal stand, I was considering life as being retired and then finally decommissioned. So many metaphors for our last day or days. In my poem Once we met. I was rolling through life reminiscing til the last line. It is a great topic that is infinite in its options and interpretations. Thank you.

wow such brilliance filled with so much sorrow just remember where ever despair lays hope also resides

Beautiful. I am living this right now tyvm karen

Thank you Tom, your comments are much appreciated.

There is nothing left to say now... A simple line but beautifully cadenced. Your verse is authentic and fresh. This is a fine example

Swimming in the sea of sadness yet rich in realism that state the story of a destiny that is dark! Well done my friend.

........we must hold onto those dreams and to faith......and believe everything will be ok....

Very well put; there truly does seem nothing left to say now.
