The Rocking Chair

The Rocking Chair

The wind so cool, the middle of March;
peaceful as can be. . .
With raindrops falling all about,
as little kids run and shout -
there's more to life than we'd like to share,
as we all pretend that we don't care.
Faults of loved ones,
they hurt the most. . .
But, we rebound back
to love them even more.

It's strength in our weaknesses,
and burdens of the past
that fill our lives with wonder,
amazement, beauty-
and, there's nothing left
in this odd, odd world;
or so we'd like to think.

Since, The Rocking Chair
resembles life, and all it has to offer,
I'll hope and pray:
when the day is through. . .
somehow, the sunset
will bring me back to you.

    Priceless piece of poetry, very profound.
    I like this from the beginning to the end and I really deeply enjoyed in this poem. You expressed the emotions excellently and the whole atmosphere that you created left me in awe. I also like portrayed imagery in each stanza which is very vivid and detailed.
    Your choice of words and flow are also great.
    The ending is effective and somehow touching.
    Keep up!
