Grief Passages Rewritten

Grief Passages Rewritten Shards of shame lay splintered in unresolved pieces ~ Bits of crystal if only intentions not repairable Minutes of I wish regret unreachable, not revived ~ Lifeless echoes sighing with no resuscitation In a whirlwind tornados uproot shallow graves ~ Screams at the unknowable why unanswered Yeah but excuses expletives and bargains with denial ~ Blank face of truth paces - bound restless essence A star at midnight, maybe, a wishing star bends down in prayer ~ Points to the northern light always there Could it be time makes a way ascending from ashes of stone ~ Grace has its own mission - acceptance 4-23-21 Contest: Grief in twelve Lines Sponsor: Line Gauthier
