A Circle of Sorrow 😢

Circle of Sorrow

Loss ensues and life continues,
however painful is the price--
Ever revolving in a circle of sorrow,
held in place by angst of tears.
The cycle is perpetual.

Judge we not another person,
unless we have dwelled within their circle.
We cannot enter into the heart of another
to fully understand the depth of the well
that holds their sorrow.

Sheila Bowyer Kline
“Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.”
― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace
