we must keep living

we must keep living

A Poem by KWP

memories will fade 

replaced with bright shiny and new

still we must keep living


there was a time when 

nothing else mattered 

a time when life seemed a little easier 

each breath hope filled 

conversations layered in joy,  

plans for the future were just that - plans 


merriment and shared times

adventure and love 

taking on the invincible 

we could do it all 

we would have it all


then, we looked the other way  

oooh - a new kind of sparkle 

delivered with excitement anew 

new plans for the future were made 


breath became laborious 

conversations waned

heart sank into dark suffocation 

still we must keep living

the second paragraph reminds me so much of my high school days. Life was so easy then. Eat, sleep, play, learn, and love. Very nice poem and heartfelt as well. Thank you, KWP, for sharing your work.

I agree dear Poet.
"breath became laborious
conversations waned
heart sank into dark suffocation
still we must keep living"
We must go forward even we fear the next step. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.
