Nothing Lasts Forever

An observation, nothing more & certainly nothing less......

Nothing Lasts Forever

 

While

Nothing

Lasts

 Forever

 I

 Eventually

  Discovered

 

That

Beauty

 Is

 A

 Transient

 Thing

 

And

Love

 And

 Lies

 And

 Faking

 It

 

Are

All

 Part

 Of

 Life’s  

 Rich

 Tapestry

LIfe's rich tapestry is woven with many threads, many textures and many colours. Some far more beautiful than others, but they all contribute to the overall story. Life is a continuing lesson, we don't appreciate the good times unless we have experienced the bad. Your lines are filled with wisdom and are entirely relatable.

Simple words, well expressed by breaking the lines and that created a great effect. I really liked this.

[Neville]

True, true and true- but even truisms are subject to individual perception and life experiences, so may change. Like the theme and form- I feel strength of opinion and character in the bold font and single word lines. Well-penned!

[Neville]

Many thank you's Annette Pisano Higley, much appreciated. All Good Things, N

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

A interesting topic. The tapestry of life. I believe life is our decision. Good or bad. We create the tapestry of a good life or not. Thank you Neville for sharing the amazing poetry.

Tis true, well at least the first bit is, the rest is far too generous.......

[Coyote Poetry]

I enjoyed your work and have fun and be safe.

I very much relate to your sentiments here, as we must learn to live with the ups & downs of life. I like the ending, life as a tapestry. I'm not a fan of stringing out the page layout in single-word lines, as the reading is jagged instead of flowing in longer lines.

[Neville]

Thank you, your opinion re page layout is appreciated but I would not change anything as that would be a major deviation from the linear structure I intended...................

[barleygirl]

Thank you for being honest in a nice way. That sometimes doesn't happen when a writer disagrees! (((HUGS)))

[Zoya]

Of course. Great observation. The body wears away...The soul is eternal. A person's body is what people cry over...at funerals, shamefully...though they aren't aware that the soul still exists. Very well written!

[Neville]

Cheers Zoe
