There is nothing wrong with feeling a loss and grieving in our own way. There is no time limit on how long this process can and will take. It is not up to anyone to decide except for ourselves. In my experience with grief, it has been something we have to “go through” and it doesn’t matter if it is an actual death of a person or a relationship that did not meet our expectations. The endings always hurt, the changes are uncomfortable and heartbreak changes the way we look at the world. All these things are normal. I am in grief and I am moving through it and as hard as it may be, it is lovely.
The Songs of Us (A seven day tale)
–
The night was lovely, peaceful lake view.
From a distance, a drumbeat, I once knew
Memories come back and thumps like my heart
The music and poetry; our beautiful art
The verses of Elizabeth that softly swayed me to sleep
“A love I seemed to lose” and now I proudly weep
Songs we sang together throughout our sunny days
Making music forever, until we lost the ways
The ways of sitting under the dreaming tree
Reflections of life and how it could be
Traveling and dancing, singing all night
Until the sun comes up and shows her light
—
The nights are now lonely,
bittersweet tunes
Dreams are forsaken,
much like a lagoon
The songs that I sing of heartbroken pure blues
Resonate such sadness all lies became true
—
Truth to the sadness
A chord that was missing
Listen again,
Embrace the reminiscing
The words forgotten
So many times
The music is lacking
Almost a crime…
—-
Is it possible to fall
So in love with yourself
To not see your flaws
Placed high on a shelf
To not hear the madness
That is all out of tune
The forbidden chaos
Never ending too soon
—–
The rhyme changed
As the sun started rising
Silence began in the brightness
——
A story, a song,
A brief tale
Of morning dawn
Silence
Haze
over the water
Inelegant light
No sunshine rays
The singing begins
A chirp a tweet
From little beaks
There is no view
From mountain peaks
——-
The view is all inside
All the things I’ve tried to hide
Shame and fear have to end
I must say goodbye dear friend
Our song was lovely for a time
The rhythm moving way behind
Cherished moments never conclude. My life has been changed, renewed
Much Love Much Life
