it is true grief can be
a treacherous
thing
it weighs us down
it hangs us
low
it clings to our skin
and gets in our clothes
it threatens to become
our scent
for fear of drowning
we thrash
and fight to keep
it off
to run away
but when we instead
kindly
allow grief
to come
to enter here
it can also be seen
as a true
blessing
to keep us rooted
in
Love
to make us truly
feel
our hearts
even as they
crumble
like a wave
sadness comes
and for a moment we are
bowled
disoriented, scared
but still we reach
for breath
somehow in our weakness
we are met
by strength
and this
remarkably
is the true power
of Love
it makes us
strong
if we open ourselves to
Love
than we open ourselves to
loss
and we
should always be
open
to feeling both
when they come
to allowing the swells
of tremendous grief
even when we feel
that we
should be doing better
to recognizing the graciousness
and blessings
of calm
when we can simply
smile
to finding our sun
as it continues to rise
to accepting kindness
and to resting
in Gratitude
because in Love
there is
letting go
and in letting go…
there is
still
Love
and in all this
my friend,
in laughter, in tears
in a moments
remembrance
wave on wave
You are welcome here
and I
will keep a light on ♥
to bless you and to keep you, when the waves come ..
