When All Has Been Said And Done

 

 

 

when all has been said and done

[soon now]

-I wonder-

will anyone remember,

or will they spend a lifetime

trying to forget,

-that which they never heard-

those words that never crossed your lips,

-those eyes -

that never were a window to a soul,

-those arms -

that never shared a hug,

-those hands-

that never reached out,

to broken hearts and wounded spirits,

may they forget,

-

may they be able to move on

-for their sake, for their sanity-

without guilt

for the inability to forgive,

forgiveness has to be asked for

and love has to be felt

until it flows over,

-you left them but with an empty glass-

 

 -

when all has been said and done

[soon now]

may they find the key

to unlock the shackles that held them captive

-to all that never was said, to all that never was done-

 

 -

may they soar on the wings of an Eagle,

into their own freedom,

-into that four letter word-

-the one left unsaid, the one left undone-

-LOVE-

    Touching

    what a waste is all that comes to mind, your each word penetrates the heart and I hope that the one to whom they are addressed can feel them somewhere
    I can only say Amen to the last stanza

    sad

    a sad an beautiful poem
    when you are beyond the ability to change a soul
    yet can see what is so simple and so easy for one to do -
    they refuse that path - and leave in there wake pain and loss -
    it must be hard to witness

    when all is said and done - love is what is left - be it in memories and thoughts -

    a wonderful poem my friend -

    A most touching poem ...

    that shares so much of what everyone needs. Love, the medicine of the gods and the salve that soothes and comforts. I'm so glad that you posted this most thought-full poem! Peace be with you and I'll add ...

    love, joy

    This was written with so much emotion Renee, it could have almost been written by me All too often there are those who don't say and do many things and they don't realize what they have let slip through their hands until it is too late as your compassionate words here have conveyed Very strong, heartfelt write dear Sis. I hope you are ok, I left a few messages but haven't heard anything. Know that I hold you always in my thoughts and heart I love you Be well and be blessed
