Affected Heart

Affected Heart

A Poem by Frieda P
"

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.

alrighty ill see if i can throw something together!
I found this less "poetic" to my eye than I enjoy. Still, the words hold truths and carry a well spoken and kind sentiment. Felt more like a little speech... A morning pep talk of sorts...

This piece made me reflect, one of your more serious pieces.
I read this and think of how I've come across so many people in life, some of them i've lost and how when I contiune to live with my life I come across these small memories that remind me of these people.. little things you know. Great write Frieda
