Rise from the ashes

A bad choice made again and again
is not Fate's lesson,

Beautiful things

Don't let faults be firm
when love is
soft.
Nothing in this world is eternal. This is one of the reasons why...

Through transient lives, a cause
stands immortal.
This is based of one of my earlier poems that I wrote but it is true.
Thank you all for the people who loved Lesson Learned #57!
I was in shock when I logged in and got over 50 notifications for one poem!
First time it's happened to me.

Tears and water are similar
but have dissimilar
tastes.
Food for thought...
