This is one of those poems. This is one of those journeys that I certainly won't forget. Enjoy.\nPlease comment, it helps me so much. :)","content":"_Journey Through a Life Once Lived_\n\nSome days I look back on my life  \nAnd I wonder  \nHow I did it all?\n\nThe teardrops falling down my face,  \nRivers on a mountain side  \nWith smooth, unbroken ridges  \nWhere did they come from?  \nWhy did I have so many tears to shed?  \nWhat dawned on the day the sun rose?  \nHow many golden streaks of light filled the day  \nWith empty thoughts that fluttered through my head  \nCausing me to shed such bitter tears  \nSad tears, Happy tears,  \nTears that shed their own reflection  \nTo collect in a pool splashed in by the air.  \n  \nEach tear has it's own story  \nIt's own journey down the face  \nOf the person who cries it.  \nThe person who sheds it's lost tear  \nFalling down the face of the broken soul  \nIt used to linger from  \nBlack fans fanning the waves of tears  \nTo be broken of fall by the ground itself.  \n  \nBut tears don't have to be the end.  \nThey are a milestone in our lives.  \nThe tears we shed are tears once spent  \nMaking a memory in our lives;  \nLike a carving in the stone, the tear memories  \nAre here to stay.\n\n~bhscorch\n\n[![Creative Commons License](http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nd/3.0/88x31.png)](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/)\n\n\"Journey Through a Life Once Lived\"\u0026nbsp;by bhscorch is licensed under a\u0026nbsp;[Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/).\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Poetry","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/519594-poem-84-once-said.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/570194-poem-86-the-end-of-the-world.json"}}
