Can’t see the buds for the blossoms, Can’t find the leaves for the trees; Can’t think the thought for conundrums, Can’t hear the hum for the bees. Can’t view the sun for the shadows, Can’t feel the thorns for the hurt; Can’t convict death for the gallows, Can’t taste this bliss for the dirt.
Can’t see the buds for the blossoms,
Can’t find the leaves for the trees;
Can’t think the thought for conundrums,
Can’t hear the hum for the bees.
Can’t view the sun for the shadows,
Can’t feel the thorns for the hurt;
Can’t convict death for the gallows,
Can’t taste this bliss for the dirt.

This makes me think of one of my friends who is going through a loss. Touching, Melody.
Thank you, Lori!
Melody, I’m nominating you for 2 awards! Congratulations! Go to my blog for instructions to receive your award.
Thank you for the honor!
I love the whole poem, as usual, Melody–but I’m most partial to the 3rd line!! God bless you today–love, Caddo
Thank you Caddo!
Beautiful Post.
Thank you!
This is exactly what clinical depression feels like. Good read. Thank you!
Saying thank you that you can relate seems socially inept – although it is powerful when those who have undergone difficult things can express them and relate to others… Thank you for your comment. 🙂
Telling is part of the healing.
Yes it is! Secrets are bad companions…they fester and rot inside. But I am finding that you sure need to be cautious who you tell what to! 😦
Can’t stay away from you and your lovely poems and photos 🙂
That’s so sweet. Should I add that on to the poem? 🙂
Definitely 🙂
Meanwhile, Melody Muses...
