The road one travels can be long and hard
And in certain places we raise our guard
A defense if you will from reoccuring pain
So bad memories won't be relived again
The problem then lies in how tall the walls become
Shutting out the world and becoming numb
All feelings are lost
and you pay the cost
For now love has gone too
and you've forgotten how to be you
this is sad but full of the truth....Perhaps when love is really 'gone' we somehow have to dig in deep and love ourselves, accepting the goodness within and letting go of the hurt....Don't know if it's always possible to let go, but if we don't we won't be able to get up and go on and that isn't an option....I think that earth is penance and we will one day see the reasons for and at that moment there will be no more loss for we reached the ultimate goal....Or should I say, I hope that's how it will be. Excellent poem showing a deep heart that can wound easily which in turn means it can love deeply............marci.xo

JoAnn, here we feel the rage within. But with every mile that we travel away from the rough part of the road the rage subsides a little. Another Sterling poem. Top marks and thanks for sharing it my friend. David
