PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

never broken
but a few times wrecked
is all part of
the landscape of living
expect a few ugly detours
what happens to us
matters little
it's our reaction to whatever it is
that matters more
even the experience of utter hell
gives the learning soul
more traction on its evolution
is just terribly hard
for the tortured mind
to wrap itself around
ere
to understand
but a broader purpose does
gradually form
and you arrive on the
other side of advancing age
broadly looking back
you are worn but thankful
for the self wars you waged
to make you the man you
were meant to be
hence that remarkable adage of
'That Which Does Not Kill Us
Only Succeeds To Make Us Stronger'
and here now today
reading as I am, your painful words
I must say I whole heartily agree
at the beauty you rendered
from all that obvious pain
beautiful poem
you've written here indeed
must be the soul
sorting out the ugly
to make some lovely sense
with all the left over need.................
