Hard Lesson
Tears fall in silent showers
as grief fills a yearning heart.
Sadness does pain impart,
as happiness it does devour.
Dreams fade away, washed by tears,
leaving a hole now so hard to heal.
The soul collects another scar to feel,
in memories you come to aching fear.
Mind whispers remind you life can be unkind,
bittersweet lessons you learn along the way.
And night takes forever to become another day,
for life goes on in spite of the pain you’ll find.
A little older and way too much wiser,
as life sifts through the hourglass of time.
Experience leaves the lesson engraved sublime,
never forgotten and sadly often a cruel advisor.
Still, the promise is there if you dare to try,
to find another chance to change the outcome.
If the heart is strong enough not to succumb,
to become a self-fulfilling failure and hope fly.
