What is lost to the wind

What is lost to the wind

 

 

I cry

for what is lost

to the wind

for it can never return

from whence

it came

To me, the goal of a very short poem is to pack it with meaning, based on how a ton of possibilities are unleashed in the reader’s mind. Your poem is the poster child for doing just that. It’s not just words on the page, but ideas spawned by your words, which creates a much longer piece of consideration. A very creative way to say that we must keep going onward in life! *sigh!* There are no do-overs, I guess! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I get a little philosophical in the passing of another birthday. I was quite content with the brevity...so thrilled you enjoyed it, my cancerian friend! (((Hugs)))

impressively stark and boldly powerful words. taps directly into the depths of human emotion and experience. such thoughts leave a lasting impression. i imagine Keats smiling from ear-to-ear at such a penning ... :)

You're the best, Pete...always making me feel proud!

A few well chosen words that have incredible depth of meaning. This little poem Kelly is both beautiful and moving. Lovely work.

I appreciate that, Chris. Thank you so much!

we can't bring back the past no matter how much we want to, coz we can't turn back the time even if we want to....

[Kelly Scheppers]

Perhaps in another time, years from now, it won't be such an impossible feat. Never say never! Thank you, Sette!

So filled with bittersweet beauty. All the scents, the sighs, the memories drifting so softly on these winds, longing to go back, but aching in the endless moving on. Wondrous pain.

Nothing like a review from an ole friend. Many thanks, Craig!

[Kelly Scheppers]

A moment is seldom gained back sadly and yet an unknown direction can be exciting too x

[Kelly Scheppers]

What a thrill to see your face again within these walls! Thank you, Poppy!
