“Love Greater Than Sorrow”

 



To sacrifice and understand

The void inside my heart

Is to embrace the open space

Between heart and soul

Trying to escape the thoughts

Through snares of darkness

As silence gathers hope

Desire and beauty

Go their separate ways…

To sacrifice and understand

The greater meaning of sorrow

The void inside my heart

Life the motionless phase

Between heart and soul

And as silence gathers hope

Greater than sorrow

Bearing the weight

Of unshared dreams

Greater than sorrow

The sacrifice

And the understanding

To love with all I have

And hate has the power

To destroy

Ever joy

Beautifully written, guides the reader through many emotions. The last line is a very true and powerful line...because hate does have the power to destroy our inward spiritual self, and without peace inside we have nothing....great write.
Blessings,

Very emotional and passionate look at your own emotions and the reasoning behind them, the answers aren't always what we would like but we must be true to ourselves. Well done Tinka on poetry and art work both.

You managed to touch on all bases here, Tinka, love, hate, emptiness and most of all the feeling that no matter how much you love hate can destroy it in a blink of an eye. I agree.

Tinks ...

This is a somber revelation laced with the platinum threads of hope. Remember that the pendulum swings both ways Sissy. Ofttimes the great sorrow one experiences is offset eventually with equally great joy.

Stay the course, and keep your eyes on the goal.
Prepare yourself for a flood of pure waters.

Stand Strong little sister ...

And hate has the power to destroy ever joy. Never let it get a hold on you or for sure hate will draw you into its bottomless pit.
