Poem

My hand

Wet with tears pouring down my face
Reaches out and finds nothing

Empty spaces where familiar voices
Once comforted me

My only hope

Is sleep, where dreams, in sketchy
Re-wind, promise a glimpse of lost
Loved ones, maybe a voice, if fleeting
Even, to soothe me

Those still with me

Look to me for strength, my motor
Memory urging me on, focusing
On the well, deep in my heart,

Cycle renews

Another beloved soul passes
Light they find
But darkness they leave behind

Grief

Hungry monster
Selfishly consumes my life
Devours all glimmers of hope

Leaving me

Destitute on a perilous plane
Mere existence
Not life as it once was

Sanity

Confronting memories, loneliness
Trek on an unbalanced bridge
Connecting life and death

Emotions purged

Shadows of yesterday surround me
Wisdom of loved ones
Permeates my thoughts

Filled

With clear vision, handed down to me
From my ancestors
