Grief is more than an emotional rabbit hole
It becomes a state of awareness all its own
Similar to living in multi-dimensional space
Where life as we know it altered- out of sync
It’s a mutual wound ripped clear to our soul
Defying logic, conventional wisdom, and love
Where we will often question our own sanity
A cold darkness that may affect almost anyone
Anyone- who dares love by a divine conviction
And yet, our love for others is what sustains us
Even though we will suffer in profound ways
As the world at large fails to comprehend this
Making us feel lonelier on our lonesome journey
Through a dark pathway into… a promised Light

Where flight became stalled
Because fear stood its ground
There- is where I- was reborn
Where I relearned my reality
As broken fragments of a self
Where I’ve seen the unveilings
Of time, truth, and Holy love
Where angels cried and wept
For my salvation and healing
And I- wept along with them
Where fire seared my mission
Forged into my soul as passion
A combatant for the wounded
Of humanities silenced…truths

Whispers of a poet's heart 
Written as a true follower of the one who was a man of sorrows. We are refined by the fiery trials we endure until at last we enter the light of our eternal home. Blessings Always.

Oh my goodness I feel this deeply. Understood empathy at the roughest level of grief, and the painful stretch of love.
