You were but a shout within a tempest
A momentary castle in the sand
Believing fate would let you last forever
At least that was they way you'd had it planned
But shouting is no better than a whisper
And castles in the sand are doomed to fall
When stricken by the waves of trepidation
As rumbling storms of living come to call
Funny, how you never saw the forest
Hidden there behind those many trees
I guess you didn't want to find the truth
Preferring lies to leaves, too blind to see
The times that were more precious than forever
The days of love and laughter that were then
And once they're gone they're gone, no going back
You'll never know that kind of love again.
Shouting is no better than a whisper
As rumbling storms of living come to call
When stricken by the waves of trepidation
A castle in the sand is sure to fall
Believing fate would let you last forever
At least that was the way you'd had it planned
You were just a shout within a tempest
A momentary castle in the sand

Larry, this was heart breaking. Right from the very potent first line.
You've always had such an incredible way with words. You could make
those that stand in an emotionless sea, cease to exist. I truly love how
your first stanza holds hands with your last. Like coming full circle. And
just like that, so too is life. We live in circles it seems. Always feeling
and reliving the same damn thing over and over. Sometimes this
is a good thing, but mostly, it's a case of, we just never learn.
Your poems always beat steady, (and though forlorn, always with the fragrance
of roses), but often with a faintness that only those who have been there could know.
Painfully beautiful , dear poet~
