Affected Heart

Tribute to all those we've loved and lost.

Sometimes we need to fall

 to great depths 

to climb the heights

 we need to acquiesce 

 

Someone touches our heart

 and wrenches it free 

to soar strong

 emancipate us from our pain 

 

Words can either make or break

 the tranquility, 

the reality of geniality

 an indispensable life force 

People come and go

 throughout our humble lives 

some help us to rise above it all

  leave us affected 

 

That indelible brand 

some people leave upon our soul 

is that eternal sign,

 warmhearted kindness in us all 

We honor the memory

 of people we have loved 

a grateful heart

 better for having shared their lives 

No longer tangible

 in this chaotic frenetic world of real 

Their spirits live on always strong,

 never to be forgotten

Your words are true in the poem.
"People come and go throughout our humble lives
some help us to rise above it all and leave us affected "
We are made by the teaching of parent and family. Good and bad they are part of us. Their voices and spirit live through our actions and our thoughts. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Beautiful. I particularly like the first lines.

Sometimes we need to fall
to great depths
to climb the heights
we need to acquiesce

Good job. ^_^

True words, put in so eloquently, this is a deep, profound poem and I love it. We all lose people important to us for some reason or the other and this is a piece anyone can relate to, it touches the heart...amazing write!

Thanks so much sid, this got lost in the mix somehow, much appreciate this review. Someone touched my heart and then they were gone, thus this piece, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks LA, this one is kind of special to me.

[Frieda P]

This really touched me, as we all lose some very close people once in our lives...
You discribe just with grace, what they have meant to us... goosebumps, only same souls can feel, those out of words.... I feel they not around us anymore hear you too! ;-)
