Shades of Grief


Shock and awe

One moment here 

Gone the next

To another time

And space


Sorrow

Waves of loud sobbing, then

Salty liquid crystals floating

Down without any sound

Crocodile tears


Disbelief

Not really

No

Didn’t happen

What?


Anger

Why?

What could we (or someone)

Have done differently

Deep mourning and blaming


Relief

About their not suffering

Any longer

Maybe they are 

At peace now, healed


What happens after

The physical body dies?

Uncertainty, unknown

Certainly is a 

Mystery


Knocked to our knees

Then reaching out

To others

Sudden holding

Cradled with love


Shades of grief

Phases, timing

Stages, surprises

One after another

As our bodies and 

Our spirits transform
