Grief

It is a rumbling injury
in the middle of me
It is as a living thing

It squeezes and pulls
at the very core of my life
and I think I hear it laugh

It is a monster, a fiend
and it has no love for me
Rather it feasts upon my joy
and spits it out.

I too have met this monster...but eventually, we see the new sunrise...No promises of when, but in its own time...Be strong! Peace and love! Dorothy A Poet Who Loves To Sing
