Let Me Grieve

 

Today
I breathe.
The breaths 
Sway through the silent air...
A message,
Please hear me. I need you. 
We are off to the hospital.
Please, pray. 
My tear stained face cannot be erased. 
Let 
Me
Grieve.
Let
Me
Feel. 
Let 
Me
Heal.
It is not a one day potion,
Am I making too much of a commotion
For you?
I’m at a loss not for one but two. 
Do you hear my silent grief
Stilled
Chilled
In the silence
Of the winter’s cold wind. 
Sobs are muffled but it still stings.
Joy?
There it is.
Waves and waves of crashing anger, sadness and emptiness...
Empty empty womb
It 
Has
Buried
Itself 
With the two
In 
The
Tomb.
Let 
Me
Grieve.
Let
Me
Breathe
The sorrow
The joy
The madness
The chaos
That 
Is
Empty 
Womb
Full
Tomb. 

Let
Me
Grieve.

Hard to Say Goodbye to 2020...

It has been a long while since I have posted. Time has passed and I actually don't really know where I am in the grieving process. I am grateful for all that I have, but I know a part of me still misses what could be.  To rewind a bit, I will discuss my New Year celebration this year. Usually my family and I bring in the New Year at church. This is something I have always looked forward to. We get together sing songs, hear testimonies and a last reflection of the year from our pastor. Due to COVID, much like many other events, this has changed. This year I stood home with my small family. I remember venturing out in the evening because I just had to get something New Years related. Traditionally my mother would always get a hat, noise maker, or anything fun and quirky to ring in the New Year. I always loved that she tried to make it festive and fun. So as I walked outside in search for New Years gear, I was saddened by the fact that all the outdoor vendors were non-existent. I fina...

Change

The leaves are falling  The birds are singing Everything is the same, but it's different. The wind is blowing autumn's silent song I feel the return of feelings I have held onto for so long. Falling  Crashing Swaying Life feels the same, but it's different. Change is evident in the shifting hues Orange Red Yellow Fading into snow. Seasons come, Seasons go. Everything stays the same, but it's different. The streets clear into the night, Everyone sleeps. The morning's glow is a potent light. Bright, as the day covers the ground, Everything around it stays the same it looks the same but it is different. You have forever changed me. You have forever awakened me in a way nothing else has. I want to feel the same but it is different. I want to look the same but I am different. I want to speak the same but the words are different. What once was, will never be. The transition crashes into me, bringing waves of uncertainty. Questions awaken in me. Frustrations soar out of my...
