Grief

[d's girl]

I thought for sure we'd have a Haiku titled "Grief" already, but I looked & looked & couldn't find one.

Haiku

for

our

Grief.

[d's girl]

Sunshine. White branches.

Dead, but reaching to the sky.

Like my dad, I think.

[Angharad]

Great topic, d's! Thank you.

And the haiku is evocative and so touching.

XOXOXOXOX

i agree d's girl

a topic we all have touched

and touches us all

[Angharad]

breathing in and out

counting the endless seconds 

between joy and pain

[Angharad]

laughter fills my head

our voices intertwining

it fades to silence

[Angharad]

ambiguous loss

love that's missing in action

grief without closure

[Angharad]

grief clutches my soul...

you pry away its cold claws

and laugh in its face

[Angharad]

first the doors were shut
now the windows one by one...
i grieve in the dark

[BellaG]

His death killed you too.

Once beautiful now buried

deep inside your pain.

[Angharad]

This is so beautiful, Bella. <3

[Angharad]

the pain never ends
rising like a tsunami
it grows with each breath

[Angharad]

you walk in sunshine...
no sunlight penetrates here
i weep in darkness
