There is a place where man must go
to abide forever, and travel alone
When like a flower, life withers and dies
leaving this world with one silent sigh
Oft forgotten.... but never is lost
into the light and torrent be tossed

With the final closing of my weary eyes
the silent sighs and tearful good-byes
No stone be cast to remember me by
only the love shared, while yet alive
Those I treasure I surely shall miss
leave me embrace, just one parting kiss.

Silent Sighs

There is a place where man must go
to abide forever, and travel alone
When like a flower, life withers and dies
leaving this world with one silent sigh
Oft forgotten.... but never is lost
into the light and torrent be tossed

With the final closing of my weary eyes
the silent sighs and tearful good-byes
No stone be cast to remember me by
only the love shared, while yet alive
Those I treasure I surely shall miss
leave me embrace, just one parting kiss.

Pretty good, but it doesn't seem to quite pull off its formatting. Generally in non-free verse I think a poet should exersize extreme caution in what he/she writes, and I think this doesn't always quite work.

Lines like "only the love shared, while yet alive" seems misshapen to conform to the formatting, which gives that stanza a somewhat awkward feel.

You might want to work on editing/rewriting small parts and watch this poem get better and better as it reforms itself--that said, don't lose its meaning while editing it. Based on how strong the meaning does show through, I don't think you really need to worry about that though.

Good write.
