The Mist

THE MIST

10/18/11

The mist hovers over the ground today

as if tears of sorrow fill the air,

for two of my friends

lost their mates last week

Grief for them, I feel today

for I know the path they walk 

all too well.  It’s only been

thirteen months since my journey 

through grief began.

Visit I did 

and spent 2 1/2 hours or so

with one of them last night. 

Just to let her know

I cared.

Shared some of the things

I learned on my journey.

For grief is like a personality

each of us has their own.

There are some similarities.

As I walk my shadow I do notice

and think of my grief now

is but a shadow

of what it once was.

It’s not easy you see

when you feel like

you’ve lost half of who you are!

My hope is I conveyed

that message to her. 

That move on you can

but I know

not easy will it be.

So the hope

of better days

was all I could leave 

with her this day.

May you touch someone

in need today

and fill them

with the hope they

so desperately need.
