together with heavy hearts

We can’t go on together with heavy hearts,  

Yet we’ll dance through the stormy weather with heavy hearts.  

 

In shadows where secrets dwell, we’ll tread,  

Finding solace in the tether of heavy hearts.  

 

Let’s gather the memories, weave them in gold,  

And mend the fragile tether with heavy hearts.  

 

Through whispers of doubt, we’ll rise and shine,  

Chasing dreams we’ll remember with heavy hearts.  

 

Time’s passage flows like a river’s gentle grace,  

Yet we’ll cherish this forever with heavy hearts.  

 

Each moment a treasure, each laugh a spark,  

In the light of love’s fervor with heavy hearts.  

 

So here’s to the journey, to paths intertwined,  

And the stories we gather with heavy hearts.  

 

In the end, We stand firm, where dreams intertwine,  

Writing our truth together with heavy hearts.

Such a touching poem. The continual repetition increases the power. So many of us have traveled this journey. Very nice Red

Not one for repetition much but some poem forms do have them so it’s a chance to employ this literary device. Thanks so much 🙏🏻
