Memories are pleasant to the heart
But they are only pieces
Just a part
In the song of life we have chances
We also have time and memories
Give a warmth to images impressed upon our mind
but hopes...
Are sweeter than wine
Like the beautiful fragile clipping of a rose
Its life only lasting hours, never again to grow
As a memory placed in a special vase of the mind
But its only a memory in time
That touched an open heart, and hopes are the sweeter part
In the song of life
Life's happiness cannot be held in the human hand
it must be tasted,enjoyed, and then remembered
Sweet and strong
Just a whisper in the wind
Then firmly looking ahead we begin again
but hopes....
Are sweeter than wine

excellent imagery
Beautiful memories and words tell how important it is to have memories but hope for the future is so important.
Love the lavender background.

marvellous
life's happiness cannot be held in hand but has to be tasted...indeed you are so succinct and fuckingly(pradom me this stinking emphasis) right that I had to almost run after that happiness.when you get to taste it..it leads to more but when it eludes it kinda jades to no end.What say my blushing and full set lovely moon -
An overall powerful piece, but I must say that the last stanza was my favorite. You did a great job with this, thank you so much for entering my contest.

You said it all. Hopes definitely are much sweeter then the sweetest of wines. This brought a smile to my face for it reminded me never to let go of hope, 'cause to hope is to live.
Love & Hugs,

Beautiful write here
So true and for to always carry hope within the mind and heart it leaves a path of rosepetals for which to walk on in a life like dream we make come to life if we so choose

"but hopes are sweeter than wine" - so i would agree as it is hope most that propels one on i often think. at first felt i liked the final stanza the most, but in rereading i must confess i am enthralled with it all.
wonderfully done.

Uplifting poem. nice metaphors.

Aw, Susan, I love this one. It's bright and wondrous with the warmth that you are and there is such truth in it. We dream, but it is hope that carries us to faith and fruition. The sweetness is the celebration of being, of that essence that moves us in joy and love. This poem is a beauty! And so are you in your indomitable spirit! :

Nice write...
..... as I have come to expect from you. I wish you were here in Denver so that we could roll into one of my favorite writing spots and share ideas and words in person. It has been 10 years since I have had some really good poetic company. I do want to let you know I might have found a typo Line 13 first word "Ihat" I put in the word "That in it's place and it worked fine. I used dictionary.com and found no meaning for the word Ihat so either it is a name of someone or something I am not understanding.
