His Grief remains his constant companion By Michelle Morris 21/11/2024 He stands at the cemetery gates That loom high and imposingly bleak He holds the bouquet of beautiful snowdrops He is immobile and unable to speak Her loss still slams into him Each and every day His Grief remains overwhelming A Darkness that refuses to abate His best friend takes those flowers To her grave so quiet and alone In a sea of many other graves Hers is there to hold hostage his Hope When a husband loses his wife His Anchor can become voided And like a boat tossed about on the Ocean His Emotions can make him feel destroyed Those beautiful memories that they created That wonderful Love Story they'd written It can become a constant reminder Of every single thing that he's missing And those cemetery gates Black pillars against the blue sky The Dark against the Light of Day Making a Mockery of all he tries Will he ever be Free to Breathe without pain? Will he ever be Free to Live again? Or will he forever remain seemingly trapped in Amber? Love locked away with his Anger? Or maybe he'll heal over Time In the Lifetimes that follow this one His Grief remains his constant companion Death his frenemy without Sun © Michelle Morris, 2024
