Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Healing Grief

amazing loving feelings
antidote to pain
arriving in droves
confusing his grief state
his breathing shifts directions
he begins to feel calm

she is at a loss
he has turned to her
words are inadequate
he is beyond repair; his grief acute
she holds on to him with tight arms
not realizing she is healing him with every inch of silence

Caren Krutsinger August 17, 2021 at 1:08 AM I want people to think about the value of silence; it is so much faster to help healing than anything else.
