After Poem by Ernestine Northover

After

Rating: 5.0


After a poem is over,
We’ll remember what it contains.
After a song is over,
The memory of the tune remains.
After a love is over,
Comes the breaking of the chains.
After a dream is over,
Then cruel reality entertains.
After a pain is over,
A quiet, peaceful moment reigns.
After a life is over,
We go where the Lord ordains.

This is a well structured piece with a timeless theme and easy pace. It reads like the lyrics of a song. Perhaps a hymn. Lovely poem. Allie xxxxxxxxxx
