Grief

You are so beautiful
When you grieve
I whisper
Imperceptibly
Because
We both wish
For you to be
Happy

It is not our role
To dole
Out the suffering
It follows its own
Wild
Nature
Weaving
In and out
Of our lives
Weaving
Us all
Together
Forever

Manifest destiny
The power of one
We see what destruction
This mantra
Has done

Grief is the stumble
The broken foot
The incessant reminder
That we sometimes
Need
Other
To stand up
And recover
