Fueled By Love

Grief conceals itself behind a veil of anger, fear, and disbelief: and yet, it invades your every thought. In your heart, you want to lash out at Death: to send the hurt back! Grief clings to Death: and in so doing devastates the living. Your world shrinks to memories: reflected in pools of tears. And life loses its spark: a part of you is missing; leaving a hole in your heart. Time is but a concept of the mind: it has no power over grief. And yet, there is something stronger than time, that can numb the pain, and comfort the soul: a faith, fueled by love, hope, and trust.

Very well said Yes, time does easy the pain, then anger tends to leave also an imprint because they are gone. Emile, congratulations on POTD. Hugs Eve

Poignant and pensive - a wonderful overarching exploration of grief all wrapped up in your vivid imagery and wise perceptions. The last stage of grief is acceptance which leaves hope "fueled by love" in the wake of tears. Wonderfully done my friend. Congratulations on your well deserved POTD!
