heartbreak
They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.
Life Goes By In A Blink
The familiar path, mentally walked as much as my feet these days Eyes searching for ways to make my day dream complete I dance over a stick in my path the way I would my grandpa's cane when he'd test to see if I was paying attention Occasionally I was, as now I pass the luggage repair that somehow had popcorn The mismatch missed as much as the company; To enjoy popcorn, walking and eating I can almost see the old trolly car Like a toy made life sized, just for us My sister and I laughing, promising to run to the back and wave Eat our ice cream, smiling and waving to the town As if the sunshine radiating around us had been consumed And like the sugar, needed a way out It had One stop away from running home to ride bikes the rest of the afternoon No hands, to feel the free freedom and dare life to take it Because we are young, because we can Time goes by in a blink Closing my eyes brings it closer before it leaves me by seeing

A walk through time
Close your eyes and inhale a deep breath these are your last moments in this life and there are things you don't want to forget Think about the little childhood moments the handful when you were actually carefree think of the wonder in you when seeing a rainbow Your best friend who was like your other half the one who was there through good and bad cherish the laughs, the cries, and every smile Remember the time you felt love at first sight the way your eyes connected and time stilled and the way he held you after your very first fight Then years later he is putting a ring on you all dressed in white and given a forever kiss bubbles blowing with shouts of congratulations Can't forget the never ending night of screams she was a week overdue and staying put even when the doctors induced contractions Hours of feeling the pains and exhaustion anticipation of hearing her first cry of breath then ending up having to have her cut out Lots of tugging and pulling but no more pain they had a white sheet up to block your view the look on your husband's face said it was wise The doctor said he was pulling her out now there was scary silence for several moments then when she finally cried you started too *** These memories replayed by an angel for peace as he smiled and gently grabbed her by the hand she said she was ready and accepted his embrace Her daughter sat next to her in the hospital room wondering what her mother had just seen shedding a tear as her mother's spirit disappeared
