Sweet Jane 61

Moments of Eternity

For a moment her heart smiled

the emptiness whisked away

contenment found with each new day.

For a moment her soul danced

fading all hurt all sorrow

no misgivings seen for tomorrow.

For a moment her hope restored

nightmares becoming divine dreams

love truly all it seems.

For an eternity her pain harrowing

moments evaporate as hours pass

heartbreak stealing bliss alas.

Thank you Ray, it was a memory that brought that one out. Funny how memories enter your mind and you weren't expecting them, so this is how I deal with memories that hurt a little. And even thought it trigged a memory you don't want, that makes me feel good knowing my words connected with someone.

Jane... I adore the title to this poem. I ADORE it. I love words that create contrast. I don't know exactly what I was expecting when I read it, and there are a few sentences in there that are wonderful. But honestly, it left me sort of hanging... I think I wanted it to be wrapped up a little tighter than it is maybe... to further explore these moments that last for an eternity.

Not trying to be rude... just trying to lay in a little constructive criticism, so I hope you aren't offended. There's no question of your talent... I would just somehow like to see this one get overhauled a little, with more "small" writing, a little more detail, and little more contrast. Does that make sense?

Okay, I'm shutting up now... :crazy:
