Sunshine and Shadow

[Pendragon]

Sunshine and Shadow

Sometimes I wish that the days had a button,
That I could push and cause them to rewind.
I think maybe I could finally cease hurtin’
If I could only go back and change time.
But then if I manage to erase all the heartaches;
I might also forget some part of the joys—
The deep wonder that the love of a good woman makes,
My own sweet little girl and two wonderful boys.
A companion to pleasure is cold, heartless pain,
The sun always returns even after a storm—
So I think I’ll flush my blues down the proverbial drain,
And endeavor to make positive thinking the norm.
Dwelling on darkness means that you dwell without the light:
Sunshine and Shadow: two halves that make one right…

Very good poem here, I like your phrasing quite alot.

[goldenrod]

Very well put! Flows along a accentuated positive line, somewhat of a rarity these days...always look forward to reading your offerings.

Trying to get comments out, as I will be leaving to spend a couple of weeks in Alaska on September seven, and I put aside cyberspace while I am trekking!

I always like your work. That was amazing. Put me in a bit of a good mood for a few seconds, thanks. :)

I loved this poem, Pen; it feels very positive in the final outcome. I like the idea and the questioning of 'if someone could indeed turn back time'. I have thought of that myself and how it would also eliminate the good things/memories in life along with the bad, so in the end it would not truly work.
Very well paced and nicely phrased poem.

Sunshine and Shadow: two halves that make one right…
So true.

Excellent poem, Pen. :)

It's great to see an extremely well-executed rhyming poem.
Your metre is good and the rhyming is fantastic.
You did a great job with the first two lines of creating interest
for the reader and the rest of the poem didn't disappoint.
Well done.
