Analysis of I Have Never Seen Forever...



I have never seen forever
Although often my heart cries
I have never seen forever
It is that place where the sorrow lies
I have wandered this world
Looking for a dream
Never really realizing that
The dream was really me!
I thought if I showed how deep my love could go
There would be someone out there
Just waiting for that pot of gold!
Still,
I have never seen forever
I have dreamed about it many times
I have never seen forever
I have heard about it
In other people's lives
Will I ever see forever?
That is the question
I cannot answer
But
When I finally do see forever...

Poetry is what makes me whole and keeps me sane all at the same time. You are born a poet, a storyteller, it is a part of what you are, a great gift from God. You can be taught to put words on paper, only those with a poet's Soul can make you feel those words deeply! I hope all of you feel me. :-) more…
