If we ever try to figure it out, we surely would go mad. Bad thiungs happen to good people; good thing happen to bad people. God rains on both the just and the unjust. It’s all beyond our limited understanding.

And I obviously cannot type today…. LOL!

Grr If only Triond would print the stanzas as they were submitted!

Thanks for the comment Ashan, I suspect you’re right about going mad!

I enjoyed reading this poem, Its true life can be strange.
Why is it always old people who win the lottery?
Keep writing the poems there good.

Good one!

I try to ride the ups and downs of life and try to stay happy as much as possible.

There’s always light.

I got goosebumps reading this. I really like the poem – it has a pleasing rhythm and rhyme. It deals with the darkness and emptiness that we all experience from time to time. And I’m sure that we have all wondered, while reasoning in the dark, that the time has come to end the season. But that time has not come – we have just barely gotten to know you – I am looking forward to reading a lot more of your work.

Oh, I forgot to tell you, about stanzas, the online editor reads every new line as a new paragraph, so when you want to single space lines of poetry, press ’shift’ and ‘enter’ and press just ‘enter’ at the end of a stanza. Hope that makes sense to you.

That is such a sad but beautifully expressed poem. Lovely work.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone!
@ Karen Gross <3 THANK YOU <3 for the stanza info big hugs to you!!!!

But thats it of course, there is no grand plan to life. It is a pointless exercise, thinking why did this happen to me ? There is always a cause and effect, but this is just the physics / psychology of the event. The mistake people make is to assume that there is an inherent moral arbiter who decides good things are going to happen to those people oh and bad things to those. E.G. you get run down by a bus (I hope this never happens to you by the way) is it because your bad,because your unlucky. NO you were probably careless/distracted and just stepped out , or the driver was, or a number of possible explanations. Very poignant poem, made me think and respond …good luck in your future writing (whoops i cant say that can I !!)

BUT…We Love You!!!
Sad..Moving..Sad

My second visit. Write more.

Every season end’s with a Grand finale
However, you can’t stop the new season from rolling on down the road of which there will be a great season premiere!
I enjoy the season premieres more than the grand finales
Everything is fresh, anew
A horrible last season can turn into a landmark new season
I have to wait longer for the season premiere and the finale comes to quick like winter

you should keep writing your really good
