O Grief
O murky presence
making liars of us with every
“I’m just fine”.
O Impending Loss,
plunging hearts already on the brink
into a dark abyss of waiting
for the otherside.
O Memory,
of goodness and loyalty
of hard work and positivity…..
we sit and wait
as tears accumulate
while we know not what to do.
~ a prayer at the near end of a friend’s life
Peace,
