What a piece full of intense thoughts. Great job on the imagery.

For when we do stumble along lifes path
we find the cushion provided by the fallen hearts
of the young that have passed before us.

How many times we do stumble. Memories of those we loved help us to carry on.

The initials of your name are carved in the soft bark
of those loving vessels where they shall remain forever.

These last lines are so heartfelt. Really bring tears to the eyes. How true your words are Tom. The pain of losing a love one is sometimes unbabrable. Then as time passes our heart fills with their memories and we are able to share these with others. In doing so we let this person live on.
Excellent!
Take Care Cindy

Wonderful poem i really enjoy reading this piece of work.
Sometimes we only rest a short period
before another current takes us air borne again
where we laugh and kiss the sky.
Some of our journeys are long and others are short.
Those that take the shorter route are
no less important than those of us
who find the hands of time in their favor.
For when we do stumble along lifes path
we find the cushion provided by the fallen hearts
of the young that have passed before us.

i like these lines very very much & they r really touch my feeling too much .
excellent work.

The initials of your name are carved in the soft bark
of those loving vessels where they shall remain forever.

The last 2 lines take my breath away and touch a spot in my heart. These lines are my favorite lines, they are woven with such emotion.

More great lines .....
- The updrafts of life catch us all like the leaves of fall
and play with us over the course of our lives.

- Those that take the shorter route are
no less important than those of us
who find the hands of time in their favor.

- This breath gives birth to all the words
that shall speak of you during this time
of grief and for many years to come when your
memory finds itself filling those hearts again.

Your title is wonderful and the entire piece is so very touching.

I found this piece not to be sad but refreshing. The friendship message exudes from it and the life lesson of come what may. The grief however does play a part but the memories of love are overwhelming. Life and death alike we have to have faith that in the end of everything that two will be rejoined.
Breathtaking piece of work here.

Great imagery. Such a beautiful poem.
