Three of Kindness
a vast distance looms
beyond me
gripping me here
heavy with loss
suffocating in emptiness
yet in its deepest richness
a song
begins
faltering at first
soft
barely discernible
in the flat darkness
of sad
notes alighting
tiny points within
this blank
black
space
its gentleness calls me
f o r w a r d and u p
into the colour
that blooms
when light begins to enter
let the dark teach my heart
that its own light
is
my song
my companion
Interpretation: The new rises in the wake of mourning. Gently communicate your feelings. The pain of this new truth will ease as you move forward.
Oh that last line gives me goosebumps. So beautiful, so true. Thank you – for this reminder and for including Nancy and me here.
