INSIGHT POEM: “The Pain of Parting”

 

 

The pain and sorrow 

of losing someone 

can be very deep 

yet 

seems to be 

in proportion to 

the joy and happiness experienced 

with that special someone 

with the sharing of deep thoughts 

and meaningful moments. 

 

In parting 

the tears of sadness 

are but a hint 

of the joys that will be missed 

and the pleasures known 

within.
