Into the Void -----------

Pain over left eye,
Likened to that of a sinus infection.
Systems check - no, it’s not mine.

Emotional release is being
Stomped down, pushed back,
And caged in this region.

Tears need to be shed,
Rivers of snot need to run unimpeded
Down a grief crumpled face.

A pillow needs to be held
Tightly clenched to a chest
As a frame rocks unknowingly mimicking the comfort of that style chair.

The feeling of a hand
Gently, lovingly squeezing your shoulder,
“Let
Go…………”

A mouth opens seemingly of its own accord--------

Quietly whimpered mumbled words
Grow to whining as the force builds
To a gut wrenching wailing of grief

The dam explodes
And raw emotion gushes forth
Ripping, gauging, biting and tearing through.

A living body, heart, mind, and soul
Listlessly crawls under covers
As exhaustion overtakes the battle worn being.

Sleep, sleep, peacefully and deeply.
You have survived hurricane grief.

Yes, there will be future squalls
And maybe even a few more storms,
But now you know, you have the combined
Strength and courage to prevail
Grief’s hail.

Wow, DKW just Wow....

Ohhhh Art, no darlin and I'm sorry for your loss and that you're going through this, but it does eventually bring you closer and more aware of (this sounds weird and I hope you know how I mean it)losing a being and yet and still, NOT losing them if ya know what I mean. Yes, logically, you know but that emotional side is really hard to convince

Yeah, fusion, I've been here and literally done this and was surprised how long the cycle can actually take, but I realized the longer you try to put it off, it seems the longer it takes to complete the entire process.

Thank-you LAMom, I so love you and the feeling is mutual. Ewwww, I'm gettin' mushy, ewwww (I'm gonna go crrrrASH some hot wheels - that'll straighten me out, lol)

Thanks sweetie ... Yup I know ... 4 in 5 months and bracing for a 5th ... I am tired

Foamy blue-green drifting vibes of ahhhhh floating on gentle soothing energy 'cause tigger bouncing would just be tooo flippin much right now and you'd be holler'n "Down wench, Down" and well, if I do say so my self, I'm not THAT much of a bee-yotch! but I will roll like a buffalo if ya want and you can step on me to cross that bridge if needs be

Boing Boing Boing ... I love your tigger bounce
