Has anyone uncovered the secret
To meeting grief face to face?
To accepting that you’ll be in pain
Across many a time and place?
Shall I approach it as a new chapter,
Or a dramatic life change?
How can I know if I am equipped
To battle a pain this strange?
Do I face grief as a warrior
With a mighty blade in hand?
Or as an old friend who wishes not to hurt me
But to trudge together through the sand?
There is a relationship here with pain
That I may not yet comprehend
But whether we duel or reconcile
May it lead me on my way to mend.
Ethereally Written
