Sorrow's Bane

Love is the one thing
That keeps our spirits whole
When Sorrow comes a knocking
With hurts that touch our soul

 

When our world falls around us
Darkness fills our dreams
It’s Love that lifts our spirits
Bridging Sorrow's streams

 

Love calls us from the brink
Of being swallowed by the stream
Dispels depression
And warms us in it’s gleam

 

Love helps us through the horror
Of love lost or led astray
Through mans trespass
Or angels spirit them away 

 

Love comes to give us comfort
To wipe away the tears
Love will shield our spirits
When Sorrow's shadow nears

 

Love’s light whisper
Will stifle Sorrow's gain
In life’s losses
Love is Sorrow’s bane

Love is everything. It can shatter you and break you. Great write, I enjoyed every line of this. Welcome to the cafe. :)

Nice read but perhaps could flow a little better...enjoyable

Hm. This is an incredible, if not intriguing, work. To be blunt, I love the way that It spells what love is about so truthfully. The recurring theme in each stanza is sorrow, which is driven away by love. This theme is spelled out beautifully with the flow of the words, line by line.

"It's Love that lifts our spirits
Bridging Sorrow's streams."

Great work!
