Grieving Is Like Leaving...........

Love In The Mist

Nine years ago today I read your eulogy

and then went into another room

to share a cup of tea.

And all the time along the way

I thought my grief would heal one day,

but although there are shifts and better times,

my heart just circles back to you

and faith helps me to carry through

all these years, occasional visitations,

but always, never another friend like you.

Five years ago you took me to heaven

to show me around,

you said you were sorry for your transgressions

be they big, or small,

and we healed so much

and I came back to continue along

healing myself and to write you a song.

This song with lovely lyrics,

I said I would share one day

and I continued writing in other ways.

But now I feel that cycle ends.

I must be present in my life.

I must heal the fractures,

be less vulnerable,

express myself from my heart

and begin again with a new start.

So as promised

and to continue Pink Love Shining

I will share those lyrical lines

knowing now that I’ve healed in time.

And as always

grieving, is like leaving

never going to arrive

until you do,

you do survive,

as the only way is working through,

casting off until there’s you

now knowing you as you do.
