Not Everything is a Pretty Sunset
Talk is cheap
You better be able to back it up
I've been without my dog for 5 months
She taught me humility you can't buy
Angst is still my undershirt
Trying though
I'll meet you half way
The rest is a karma float
Pick 'em up and put 'em down
A saying my Mom had to define work
Reflection calls me
Mourning my heroes
Black is part of the sunshine
You better be able to back it up
I've been without my dog for 5 months
She taught me humility you can't buy
Angst is still my undershirt
Trying though
I'll meet you half way
The rest is a karma float
Pick 'em up and put 'em down
A saying my Mom had to define work
Reflection calls me
Mourning my heroes
Black is part of the sunshine

I take this poem seriously.
It makes me sad as I see so much wisdom and truth in it.
As for the dog ... the scar will always be visible as the heart will keep on bleeding. My dog is still with me on every walk I take.
No not everything is a pretty sunset. And how so
since not every sunset is pretty?
Sure I like this.

When I was ten years old my dog Flossy was run over by the ice-cream van as it played Greensleeves...took me some time to enjoy ice-cream again...your poem took me sadly back...great write PS.
Tears...Harry
Tears...Harry
So sorry Harry *** I lost a dog tragically when I was young too. Have never had the courage to write about that. Still mourning my pointer mix Ginger. She was da bomb .....

Nope, not everything can or should be a pretty sunset. There are clouds in many skies...and we can reflect on those too. More easily, I think, without the distraction of the bright sunset or sunrise. You bring you to the table, I'll bring the coffee. Solid and straight up write here.
