    Poem Commentary

    LIFE HAS HANDED ME MANY FALSE THINGS. I OFTEN WONDER WHERE IT ALL IS LEADING TOO. I FOUND THAT IF WE LOOK CLOSELY, THROUGH THE BAD IS GOOD, PAST THE CLOUDS IS THE SUN AND IN DEATH WE WILL FIND LIFE. SO I MET WITH MY SOUL AT THE BANK OF THE RIVERS BED: DREW LANCASTER

    I MET WITH MY SOUL ON THE BANK OF THE RIVERS BED

    I MET WITH MY SOUL ON THE BANK OF THE RIVERS BED

    I met with my soul

    On the bank of the rivers bed

    Its reflection rippled

    Clearly showing its head

    Alot like mine

    Deepened a shade of gray

    Color glazed by time

    Tears fled from His eyes

    Though I felt none in mine

    SOUL SPEAKS:

    "I cry for the lies

    Those you believe

    A world so sadly gave

    I now deny, Accept my apology"

    "This they gave

    One they forsaked

    I bought for my soul to save

    So digging you an early grave"

    "Your skin so old and thin

    With pain a color stains

    Poor child where went your smile

    They ask, where have you been"

    "No answers for the questions

    Truth you sought explored

    Say goodbye, tear filled eyes

    Leaving you closed at locked doors"

    "Truth is you were cold

    Yet they remained frozen

    I bought your soul from satan

    Heaven delayed while Hell was chosen"

    "So I cry for you now

    Thus you cry not

    My explenation of salvation

    Flow from my eyes never to stop"

    "Lonely friend I have sinned

    Against the heart that held me true

    Keeping strong and undetered

    Though fate you never knew"

    "This is my river

    All your tears I saved for you

    Take a deep breath, one last step

    Swim in the beauty of you"

    "The bed of tears you shed

    Peace now, its time to go

    Rest your head and close your eyes

    Breathe out and sink below"

    "Friend they may never know

    All you gave, the lives you saved

    All wept of others dismay

    Seeking not for you alone"

    "It is true what Angels say

    Mighty, couragous and brave

    Many souls would envy

    Blame it on desire and so crave"

    "Smile you now, see the treasure bought

    Wade with me love

    Paid in full, pain endured

    They seek you above"

    "The world you made to roam

    Despised and stood alone

    Drown here in the love

    It is time to come home"

    SOUL IS SILENT

    Though it was cold

    A late winters day

    My soul spoke to me

    So I heed the words He say

    One single tear

    A smile graced my face

    I knew it to be true

    Agree with all He had to say

    Must have been cold

    They will surely think

    To drown on this winters day

    The edge of my rivers bank

    Knowing not my tears so warm

    All that my eyes gave

    "Poor child carried such a heavy smile"

    "He was mighty,couragous and brave"

    They will damn the river not knowing

    Blaming it for a death

    Though it was I who found my soul

    On the bank by the rivers bed

    This is one great write, the title for sure is fantastic, all of it has flowed, I'm glad I looked at it.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
