Frequently, when I am overwhelmed by emotion I write poetry. It helps sort out my feelings.
Recently I have been overwhelmed by grief and pain because of the death of 2 friends. I hereby submit:
Death
in it’s many guises
lurks near
to me.
I am not
afraid of her
for I have
survived
her siren song.
Yet her song
wounds me
still
for it calls
to her fatal
embrace
the ones I love.
I know not
whether
shall I ever
see, hear, touch
them
again.
Some do believe,
in angels,
demons,
ghosts,
and such.
Sadly,
I do not.
I believe
the Universe
is one giant
interconnected web
of energy.
And, I wish I
had the map
tracing the path
to the ones
I loved.
