Somber Cries

Inspired by Morgan Freeman’s performance in 'The Magic of Belle Isle'

A tree stands alone, wrapped around a rock, reaching every which way in order to survive. The result, the strongest tree in the world. 

Life is full of bittersweet goodbyes. Most of them true, others, truly, honest lies.

If you've not received one, you most likely didn't need one, or perhaps, they were replaced by somber cries.

Read further for my thoughts:

This is a poem inspired by Morgan Freeman's performance in The Magic of Belle Isle.

I give the movie five stars—a must see.

The poem is about those who deserve honest goodbyes, those who we say fake ones to to be polite, those who deserve what I call bad-byes, and those who we never had a chance to say goodbye to.
