I am intrigued by your desire to comment.

My poetry usually comes out in song lyrics:

Only Love Prevails.

I can’t bring them back again

Those moments I hold fast in memory

Dear ones dancing in my dreams

Still reaching out to me

When Spring has come and gone again

And brilliant Summer pales

And Fall sets sail in frosty winds

Only love prevails

No, I can’t change the flow of time

Tho sometimes I’ve wished that I could

But my heart shall bind up all loose ends

And keep them mine for good

So let us recall some old songs

And sing them out around the fire

And hail once more our loved ones before

The hour that we retire

When Spring has come and gone again

And brilliant Summer pales

And Fall sets sail in frosty winds

Only love prevails

Be well.

I will read and respond as long as I can. I can't do paid Stacks

Well, lyrics are a form of poetry, and it’s really how poetry began! Poetry was pretty much born out of music!

No problem! Just sharing helps me out a lot!
